White Dress



B.A. was baptized!
She had a great day.  
It was her birthday. 
Grammy and Poppy came.  Justin and Jennifer came.  Grandma and Mark came.  And even Rachel came.  
They had a hard time finding a white suit to fit her.  She is so tiny.  We had to roll the legs.
There were 10 other kids getting baptized that day and we were the very last ones.
We sang primary songs in the chapel for about an hour.
I wasn't prepared for this.  The boys (Poppy included) got bored.  And hungry.
My favorite part was when we sang Do As I'm Doing and B.A. chose to jump up and down instead of roll her arms like the chorister suggested.
My real favorite part was after she got dunked.  She looked out at everyone and gave us a huge smile.  Then she waved at her sisters.
Afterwards she told me it felt like she was floating in the water because of the jumpsuit.  She thought it felt weird.
She cried during and after her confirmation.
Finally, we hurried home to feed everyone lunch and celebrate her birthday.

When Xander got baptized it was such a monumental day for me. Like another milestone achieved.

Congratulations B.A.! You look beautiful -inside & out!

Beautiful girl!

Oh, an ill-fated, 10-kid month for baptisms. Brutal. More so when you're last. Did this mean the 3rd ward was in charge of speakers? Did you speak and not want to tell us?

Despite all that I'm glad she was so happy. Tears even. BA and I are kindred spirits.
