Annie's Baptism

Anne was baptized on Sunday at our church, and it was a wonderful day--- easily the most fun baptism I've ever attended. For starters, Monroe Crossing, a bluegrass band that visits our church every summer, played at the service. It couldn't have been more perfect! What will now go down in our family history as our only "bluegrass baptism" was a toe-tapping great time, and their version of "Jesus Loves Me" (prefaced by a brief acknowledgement of the baptism) was a beautiful way to conclude that portion of the service.

Afterwards, we had over 50 people over to our house for a brunch to celebrate Annie and her special event. It was a perfect Minnesota summer day--- sunny, sweltering, and to top it off, it was also the final day of the Tour de France.
