Malley's Baptism

We got to watch this little cutie get baptized Sunday...

We went to Tuscaloosa for the whole weekend, so we had lots of opportunities to play with Malley Girl.  Miller even shared a sticker or two with her. 

And a kiss or two.

Malley did great on her big day!  She was so sweet the whole time Reverand Cain talked and only cried a little bit when he actually baptized her.

Reverend Cain talked about how "Malley" means "sweet as honey" and "Frances" means "free".  He incorporated Psalm 119:103 which says, "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"  and the freedom we find through Christ's grace.  I had no idea her name meant so much and it was such a beautiful, personal message.

 The big moment...

 She recovered quickly and snacked on her fingers a bit.

 Here's a shot of most of the family right after the service:

 And our attempt at a picture including Miller since he was in the nursery.

Afterward, we went to Kate & Scott's house for a delicious lunch.  I didn't get any pictures there, but  you can take my word that everything was beautiful and oh so yummy!

Malley Girl, we're so honored and happy that we got to be a part of such a monumental day in your life.  We meant what we said when we promised to support your mommy and daddy in bringing you up to know Jesus as your Savior.  We pray for you every night and can't wait to see the little lady you become.  We love you!
