Ever wondered what a baptism in the Orthodox church looks like?
This last weekend, we were part of the baptism of our fourth godchild, William. Normally, in the Orthodox church, babies are baptized within their first 2 months of life. Since our friends were waiting for us to move to Dallas, however, William is already 5 months old!
For long-time readers of this blog, you will notice that our “home” church in Dallas is the same exact place where we baptized our first godchild, Christopher, our second godchild, Lola Magdalena, our OWN son, Gregory, and our third godchild, Jonathan. This is a special place for us, to be sure!

I love this – and I really love your shoes :).

Thanks, Ginny, I’d only unpacked one box of shoes, so this was it!

Very special day – congratulations. I had a daughter who also specialized in spitting up at opportune moments… laughing it off is about all you can do. And have a good cloth nearby too, I guess:)

Seana, we had just moved a cloth onto my shoulder, right before it happened! 🙂
