Lauren's Baptism.

We recently traveled to Louisiana to have Lauren christened.  It was a beautiful weekend, a wonderful ceremony, and Lauren was thrilled to see her Great-Grandparents and her Grandpa Pere. 

Some of the stuff the Great-Grandparents had in their Lauren shrine.

"God Bless Lauren"

Julie helps Jacqui get Lauren ready

She's ready!

Everyone's ready - but we need MORE PICTURES!

Jacqui, Lauren and I pose with the God-parents

Both sets of Grandparents get in the picture

Lauren was so happy to see her Great-Grandparents

And she's always happy to see Aunt Julie.

Hurry - get one more picture of us with the Great-Grandparents.

Bill lights the big candle.
(I'm sure the big candle has some 'official' name - anyone know?)

I was happy that I did not drop Lauren .....
...although she did spit out her pacifier - right in the baptismal.

The God-parents pose with Lauren again.

Lauren is always so happy!

Yes - we took a lot of pictures.

In fact, we took SO MANY pictures....

...it appears I may have posted a duplicate or two. 
I really didn't - it may just look that way sometimes.
But, one thing's for sure - I'm running out of stuff to say.

And here's Lauren with her God-Parents.....again.

Father Miles poses with us and his parents.

Dad makes a funny face - too bad Lauren is sleeping.

AWWWWWWwwww - sleeping Lauren.

Lauren and Pere discuss the market.

Supply side economics is fascinating!

...and that Alan Greenspan is a HOOT!

Ahhhh - nothing beats a long nap after a busy weekend.
