Chloe’s Baptism

Chloe was baptized during early service this Sunday attended by some of our closest friends and family.  It was so special to be baptizing Chloe similar to how Callie was.  She wore the same gown as Callie and that I was baptized in, by the same water that Callie was from the Jordan River, and by the same Pastor, Rev. Skidmore, who Vaughn and I really like.  Chloe did great during her “part” of the ceremony, not that I expected differently, but you always worry about how your kid is going to act in front of everyone!  After she was sprinkled with water, Callie joined Rev. Skidmore and Chloe as they walked down the aisle of the church to show Chloe to the congregation.  The girls did so great and I was overcome by how truly special that moment was to us.  Vaughn could see that I was about to have a moment and leaned over and said “You know, the next time we see them walking down this aisle will probably be their wedding…”

After the service was over we got some quick pictures, and then the pictures stopped.  By the time we got to the house we were having such good time with everyone I didn’t bring it out.  So unlike, Callie’s baptism where I didn’t any church pictures and all at the house, Chloe got all Church pictures and none at the house.  Oh well!

It was a very special day for our very special baby girl!
