Miriam's baptism

Our sweet girl was baptized this morning at a 10:30 church service at a local Lutheran church.  Her godparents (my sister Katie and Mario's brother TJ) were both able to be there with us.  Miriam was very well behaved, and only fussed a little bit after the water was on her head.  (The pastor dropped the cloth that was supposed to be used to dry her head into the water, so she still had water dripping down her face.)  We were originally going to have her baptized in the spring around her first birthday, but Katie was able to fly out here and spend some time with us this fall, so we decided to take advantage of her presence and have Miriam baptized now. 

Here are some pictures from both before and after the service, and well as during the baptism.
