Child of God

We were able to arrange to have Zoey baptized in a short private ceremony on Friday.  She was such a good girl.  My dad took some great pictures.

The church we go to has beautiful windows.

Changing Zoey into Pop's gown.  Nick's grandfather Pop wore it, so did Sue and her siblings, Nick and his, and Sam and her cousins.  It has been repaired, but still looked great after all that use.

Waiting for the action.

Ready to go!

Silly Sam.

With the deacon who performed the rite.  Luke needed a clean diaper, so we waited a bit and used the time for some pictures.

Zoey kept reaching out for him.

Oil.

Water.

Light of Christ.

With her godparents.

The Kellings.

Grandparents.

Swilleys.

The cake.

Such a funny story here.  So Mom wanted to give Zoey the cake.  We went to Publix and to order the same cake Sam had was $50 for half sheet that fed 40.  Seemed ridiculous, so we went to walmart.  This quarter sheet cake was $15.  Tasted great and was pretty.  I forgot though to ask them to put God Bless Zoey on it.  I called in to add that and the lady did not speak English too well.  It was about a 5 minute conversation with me repeating Z-O-E-Y, Z as in Zebra and her saying Doey?  D?  No Z.  Anyway, she hung up on me in the end and I told Mom I was not sure if it would say Zoey, but she said it she would get them to fix it.  Indeed it said Boey.  So she was Joey in our neighborhood newsletter and Boey on her baptism cake :)
