Baptism!

Erich and I have the very great honor of being godparents to our new niece, Emily Juliet. I got to hold her at her spiritual rebirth through the waters of baptism on July 27, 2008.

Here are Erich and I at the church. Emily is wearing a raw silk gown handmade by Erich's great-great-grandmother for his great-grandmother while they were missionaries in India.

I think you'll agree the baby thing is a good look for us.

"Hi, I'm Emily! I'm happiest when being beaten on the back. Uncle Erich couldn't believe I could stand being hit this hard, but look how much I'm not crying!"
