Noelle's Baptism.....finally

Finally Noelle is baptised. It took nearly 17 months to get it done. Ella was baptised at 10 weeks old the wonder Father Donner at Sacred Heart in Gladwin. Unfortunately he passed away only months afterwards. When we moved to Ohio we himmed and hawed about joining a church. Well, Noelle was born and we needed her baptised but noone would do it unless we were members. So finally this January we got our act together and joined a church.

There sure is a difference between baptising a 10 week old and a 17 month old. Ella didn't make a peep during her ceremony. Noelle was quiet but it was smack dap during naptime so she was restless. It looked like we were playing hot potato with her while standing up with the priest. She only wanted one of us to hold her for a few seconds at a time. All in all everything went smoothly. Phew!

Here's the star of the show!
