Baptism and Bartels visit

Addison was baptized July 14, 2013 at First Good Shepherd.  My parents and brother came in for the "event" and to see both the girls.  Here's some pictures...

Addison in her baptismal gown.  My mom made it for my baptism and we've used it for both girls.  She also made the headband and the quilt Addison is laying on.

The family of four.  Braelyn was sick and she looks particularly pathetic here.

The family with Addison's godmother, Karen.  Karen's husband Paul is Addison's godfather, but he couldn't be there.  Karen and Paul teach with us at school and are good friends.

The family with grandparents.

Uncle Christian with Addison

Uncle Christian sleeping with Addison.  She wasn't perched as precariously as it looks here.  I was not fearful for her life with Christian holding her while sleeping.  (just a disclaimer)

Sisters!  Sorry for the unrotated picture again.  Braelyn likes the timer on the camera, only she closed her eyes for almost every picture we took like this.

It was a lot of fun having everyone here.  Braelyn loved playing with all her new playmates and I'm sure is missing all the attention.  We wish we lived closer.

Addison has started waking up only once a night, which is great except Braelyn was sick and was waking up during the night too...and staying up for hours at a time.  I think she's on the mend as she didn't really do that last night.  Hopefully we are over that.
