Gianna's Baptism - April 9

Saturday was a busy day for our family. Gianna and I were on the road, headed to the hospital, by 7 AM for her two day check. We picked up Juliana and got home just in time for Ana to shower and us to get ready. Then we headed to Gianna's baptism. The day was perfect!! The sun was shining for one of the first times in awhile. Gianna's special day was shared with family and friends - which always makes it more exciting. After the baptism, all our family and the few friends who came went to our house for a party. We talked and laughed all afternoon. Saturday evening Fr. Litzner came to visit us as well. It was a long, long day - but a wonderful one!!
I'm helping Gianna into her baptismal gown. I can't help but wonder if in twenty years I will be helping her into her wedding dress as well. :) Those buttons are tricky on a hungry, grumpy baby.
Her "veil" for the day. Are all little girls this adorable??
Gianna and Mommy - both of us survived getting dressed.

This salt is YUCKY! But it was better than the pacifier.
