I had been debating all week whether or not to go to ellie's baptism or not. It was the weekend here that I hated to miss with it being a big Sunday at church and all. With a baby dedication, baptism service, new members being presented, and of course FOOD, it was a big day and alot to miss. That's the stuff I love about church...being there for the important moments in my "family's lives." But when it came down to it, ellie IS the most important member of my family and I felt like I would regret not being there. I had never been to a baby baptism before. Sarah was raised Methodist and her mom still attends the church sarah was raised in with the same pastor. ellie wore the same dress as sarah when she was baptized. she looked so pretty. the service was really good, not what I had expected. It was much the same as our baby dedications. I was impressed. All the family was invited up to the front and asked to lay hands on her while we prayed. the laying on of hands made me feel kinda at home. but I still missed my people. I just knew ya'll were having a great time.
I decided for sure I was going when my alarm went off at 3:30 am Sunday morning. I was up and out of town about 4:03 am. Got to Landon & Sarah's at 8:30. Good time in the morning without traffic. We had a little get together at grammie sue's after church. that was nice too. It was really great having two full days with my kiddos. I really miss them.
But I don't know how many more trips I will make at 4:00 am!

I'm so glad you got to be there for your kids...I know they are glad, too! I'm glad I got to see you tonight!
Well, four days is too long! This blogging thing is important business! Maybe a little less important than a milestone in your only grandbaby's life, but in all actuality... That was only one of the four days!
i am glad you got to spend time with ellie. we did miss ya. but i agree family does come first.
welcome back.
So happy to see more pictures of that most precious baby! I'm happy that you were able to be with her for this important event. You will have more "big" Sunday's, but only this one baptism for Ellie. Did really miss you!
Missed you while you were gone, but Ellie is more important and living as close as you do, I say TAKE ADVANTAGE of the times you can go and be with them.....the grands grow up to fast.....make lots of memories with her.....you won't regret you did.....
ONLY four days? you must not get it, mama.. four days without an update is like an eternity.
