A Special Saturday...

Today was Sophia June XuCan's Baptism day. We were all dressed and out the door early this morning. We met our family at our Church as well as Sophie's Godparents, our good friends Steve and Liz. She was such a good girl and so very patient. There were eight babies baptized today! I was moaning about having so many children being baptized at the same time and that it seemed less personal when Hannah said, "Mom, the important thing is that she was Baptized today." Out of the mouths of babes! Sophie looked beautiful in the gown that Chris and I bought soon after we sent our dossier to China. She was a good girl in Church. She tried to duck when Father Z tried to anoint her with the oil of catechumens, which made everyone laugh and she cried just a little when he poured the water over her head. It was a special day for our family and for our sweet girl.
