The girls were baptized this morning at St. Michael's Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston. We had planned on having them baptized in November and all of our family was going to be able to be a part of it. We changed our plans because Matt and I both felt that it was important to us to have the girls baptized before Riley has her surgery next month. We know that our families missed being there with us for the girl's special day and while we were sad that they weren't there, we had everyone in our hearts with us all day long.
It was an absolutely beautiful service. It was perfect...and so were the girls. Matt and I were so impressed!!!! The girls looked gorgeous and wore their gowns that were given to them before they were born by all of my very, very good friends from Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary School where I taught for years when I lived here before. A huge thank you to Aunt Conni who helped to make sure that they fit perfectly...and they did! Our friends Cindy and Sam Hines took all of us out to lunch after the service at The Harbor Club (and my other great friend Sylvia came with us too...) and it was so good. All in all...a perfect day (and a win for the Brownies too!!!!).
Thank you all for being so understanding and supportive and recognizing that today was very important for us and something that we are so glad that we did now. We are all exhausted but so relieved and thrilled that the girls are baptized!!!
