A couple of weeks ago, Satchel was baptized at Wicker Park Grace. It was the church's first baptism and it was an incredibly beautiful service. We were both humbled and overjoyed at the excitement that the community shared with us in welcoming Satchel into the community. Here are some shots from the weekend. Almost all taken by others (thanks Nick and Grammie!).
Folks in the community made a special baptismal banner for the occasion.
Children's time - bringing and preparing the elements for the baptism.
Satchel didn't make a peep through the whole thing.
Remembering our baptisms.
Satchel is wearing the same baptismal dress that her great great grandfather wore.

Lots of reading: 
A trip to the cultural center:
And lunch out at a Japanese restaurant:
The best toy at any restaurant is the napkin. We always leave a pile of shredded napkins behind at every restaurant we visit. We're sure to leave a generous tip along with it.
Yeah!!! So glad to see Satchel this past weekend - just not enough! Hip, hip, hooray for baptisms!
