Beautiful Baptisized Baby!!




Leeza with her family-including both sets of Grandparents after the baptism!

Leeza was baptisized on Sunday, November 9th and she did so well! At our church, the minister baptisizes her after the family makes the oath that we will raise her as a Christian child, then walks her up the aisle while the congregation sings "Jesus loves me". She was a champ and went to Jack with a tiny wimper of like "whoa, who has me" then that was it, and was loving walking the aisle with everyone singing to her, while her mother stood there and had huge tears that she could not hold back. It was truly such an emotional time-as I thanked God for our lil blessing Leeza Grace.

Big thank you to Virginia (also the incredible "scrapper" who scrapped my blog into 2 huge books for us-she also took the pictures for us.


Before the baptism, being introduced by the minister as a new baby to be baptisized!!










Leeza and the "fam", but Joey is missing because he lives in California, but he will meet Leeza at Christmas time!



Leeza and her grandparents...




We went to a REALLY NICE brunch at Island Way Grille on Clearwater beach to celebrate after church. I think this is one of my very favorite pictures of Leeza.

Someone told us she was beautiful, and she blew them a kiss-like she knew EXACTLY what they were saying. :)
