44 weeks old - Alex's Baptism

We traveled to P-town this weekend and Alex was officially baptized by Pastor Dan Stratmann on June 14th at the Princeton United Methodist Church. Grandma Hardy was disappointed that the pictures turned out blurry, but at least we have some pictures - (Alex's version: some strange man sprinkled some water on my head and held me for a short time before I started crying).


In true Ebert fashion, Alex successfully shattered the Pastor's previous record - 15 years of baptisms with no crying babies...... oh well.

Now before you mistake our baby for an Amish child, the bonnet turns into a handkerchief to be used on Alex's wedding day. The dress she was wearing is no doubt hand made, but was purchased by Pop & Grandma (Veach & Genevieve "Jerry" Wilcox) for Katie Maag. Since Katie is about to turn 13, Andrea gave us the dress and we thought it would be a nice touch for Alex to wear it at this special event.
