On August 21st, Alana was baptized at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Carmel, IN. She was joined by Kathy Brickler and John Meluch, her very special godparents. The Bricklers and the Meluchs played an important roll in our lives when Brett and I were growing up, so it's an honor to add them to our little family!
We're all so happy for her! Although, wouldn't you know it, she screamed during the whole ceremony. Poor kid was so hot! She got to wear this beautiful dress that my Aunt Sandy made from fabric from my late grandmother, so it had special meaning. She then peed and pooed all over said dress when we got home, so she didn't really get to wear it all that long. We were able to squeeze her in to the traditional baptismal dress that everyone since my grandmother has worn for baptisms. My great-grandfather made it from my great-grandmother's wedding slip. (Do I have that right, Mom?) Babies must have been smaller back then because our last two kiddos barely fit in to the dress.
Alana was much happier when we got her home and fed. We had a good gathering of family and friends and had a nice luncheon afterward. Thank you to everyone who helped!
