Annabelle's Baptism

On August 30th Annabelle Marie Montgomery was baptised. It was an absolutely perfect day. So many family members were able to attend. Grandma and Grandpa Newman came from South Carolina, Aunty Heather and Uncle Scotty from Baltimore, Aunt Kathy from York, Great Grandma and Grandpa Newman, Uncle Sean, Nana and Pap, Mimzey and Dano, Great Grams, Great Aunt Patti and cousin Maria, and Great Aunt Sue and cousin Kara. Gene and Marty Marine were so kind to send the afternoon with us at Mimzey and Dano's house at Indian Lake. Gene performed the baptism. We all gathered outside with the lake behind us while Annabelle was saved. Gene and Marty surprised us with a very special gift. While visiting the holy land Gene and Marty gathered water from the Jordan River and brought it home with them. Gene used this water to baptise Annabelle Marie! It is a day Nick and I will never forget and one we can't wait to tell Annabelle all about when she gets older. Here are a few shots! I have some other great news! We have a new computer!!! I will now be able to blog more often (like I used to!) Sorry for the poor effort these past few months. I promise to do better. I am back to school which is fine... I have a great class which helps. I have also started my masters program...YIKES! I have just finished my first week and I must say I'm a bit out of practice...this morning I asked Nick, "How do I site references again? What is APA?" I'll get back into the swing of things soon! Love to all!

Hey there, She has grown so much! I love the baptism pictures and it looks like such a beautiful day! She looked so precious in her gown and you look outstanding! Don't look like you've just had a baby!

I'm sorry I did not text you back or call you back about that little girl... that was definitely her.. Turner was it? I don't have time to text... and calling is hard to squeeze in also, so my best bet is email! But, I have been thinking of ya'll lots and glad to see an update! We miss ya'll much! Christyn
