Today we baptized Josie at our church.

Ronny actually baptized her, which was very special.

Josie was a trooper and never fussed a bit - even when Pastor Lonnie held her.

After the service we had a celebratory lunch at Lupe Tortilla's.

Jack enjoyed Uncle Bobo and Katherine reading to him.

This is the dress I wore when I was baptized, as did my mother.

It was made by Josie's great-great-grandmother.

Checking out all of the penguins.

They had gentoos, kings, chinstraps, and rockhoppers.

Definitely taller than a king penguin!

Almost as tall as an emperor penguin.
