McKinley Ilene's Baptism



What a wonderful day! It far surpassed my expectations. We had so many loved ones and friends there. It meant alot to us that so many took time out of their Saturday to come celebrate with us. When I got home I realized I didn't have any pictures of me with MCkinley! :O( I am hoping my dad got one. I didn't get a pic of him with her either! He and I were taking all the pics. If any of you have pictures that you took, please email them to me!
Here are a few of the folks that showed up....

Lindsey and Kyle (my sister and her hubby).....


The Fredericksens (friends from C2) made it! We were so happy to see them!

Memomie (my Dad's mom) came from Saginaw for the big day!


That is my mom with my sister.
Papa Jack came and gave the closing prayer. We love him so much!

Grandaddy (my Mother's father) and Lila came.

McKinley's middle name is "Ilene". She is named after a very dear friend of mine that died about 14 years ago. Her oldest daughter, Lynsi, came. She totally suprised us - we weren't sure if she would be able to make it. I teared up when I saw her because it made it that much more meaningful for me to have her there. I was able to introduce McKinley to Lynsi and remind her about Ilene and why we named her after her.

Congratulations to McKinley! I so wish we could have been there to share her special day. She is just as cute as her sweet mom. We really need to get her together with Miss Molly.

That looks like it was a very special day! I didn't know Mckinley's middle name was after Ilene, that is really neat! "Papa Jack" is looking great! I haven't seen him in a long time!
