Ela got baptized this morning at church. Here is the family up front listening to Pastor Kelly.
And here is Pastor Kelly baptizing Ela.
Great Grandma Ruth came to see the baptism and to meet with her namesake.
And here are four generations of ladies from our family.
Ela and Boookie in their jammies.
Boookie talking with his mirror friend. Like his relatives Auntie Sexist and Uncle Matty (and his daddy), the lad enjoys looking at himself and talking to his reflection.
Here he is walking in Daddy's shoes. The Mayor remembers clomping around in Grampz' shoes back in the day and enjoys watching the tradition stay alive.
And here is Ela in her Bebe Pod, a parting gift from her friend, Amos. Michael Delving will miss their family, but we know that they have gone to a better place. Indianapolis.
