April 3rd was the baptism of our great grandson! It was a perfect day for this happy occasion! He's now 9 months old--I was hoping he could wear the christening gown I made for our grandchildren--which was made with handspun silk that I spun and wove their mother's wedding dress!
Alas, the grandchildren wore the gown when they were only 2 months old but our great is a older lad and couldn't fit his arms through the sleeves! besides, his dad, who did wear the gown at his christening--said, it looked at a "GIRL outfit!
I know I could alter--it would have had my eyes leaking tears to see him in that gown from 30 years ago--My eyes still leaked some as I watched a new generation pledge their commitment to raise this young one into the Lord's family. We celebrated with a family brunch after the service--Lots of good eats and the saying goes "a good time was passed by all!"
