baby's gettin' baptized...


Magda loves God. And God loves Magda. To cement this relationship, Magda was baptized on February 18th 2012 in the presence of her godparents JeriAnne (Josh's sister) and Dan (Meg's brother), parents and lots of family and friends who love her.
Meg's mom still has the baptismal gown that was made by Magda's great-great grandma approximately 30 years ago--all of the kids in Meg's family wore this for baptism, as did her nephew Tone.

So cute!

Father Frank made the baptism memorable!

He had the kids all come up and involved them by asking questions and letting them check out the baptismal font and the holy oil. There were some funny questions and answers, especially from Wil (Meg's friend Kari's 4 year old). One question was 'what does the holy oil smell like?' Eila (5 year old of Alisa's) said 'lemon!' Chloe (our 3 year old niece) said 'flowers!' And Wil thought about it for a bit...and said 'stinky cheerios!'


Father Frank is a rock star.
