Baptism

Our smiling Tatum!

Last week Tatum was baptized at First Methodist Minden by her Tuffy.  She wore the dress that I wore when I was baptized which happened to be hand made by my grandmother.  When I was pregnant with Tatum, I thought that she wouldn't be able to wear it if we didn't baptize her immediately since I wore the dress when I was 17 days old...well Tatum wore it at 3 months and it was plenty big for our dainty little girl.  Matt, Jes, and Reed were in town for the event and we had the family and some close friends come as well.  Afterwards we all ate in the fellowship hall.  We took a few pictures at the end.

Matt and April.  Matt was very proud of her and her decision ;)

Tatum did very well during the baptism.  She did cry a bit when the water hit her head.  Tuffy did a great job holding her so that everyone could see her beautiful dress.  It was so sweet for Philip and I to remember our commitment to the Lord and to promise to uphold it and raise Tatum in His ways.
