Sofia's Baptism

On Sunday, we had a very quickly planned baptism for Sofia at St. Mary Church in Woodstock, Il. where I grew up. Even though there were just days to plan for it, everyone, except two cousins were able to attend this special day. Deacon Lou, who has a granddaughter adopted from Russia, performed the baptismal ceremony. Sofia has five godmothers and one godfather. What a blessed little girl!! After the ceremony, we went to our favorite German restaurant and ate, ate, ate as all good Germans would do.



Sofia did not cry when he blessed her with holy water, but she did exercise her lungs for a little while after the blessing with oil.
