hugh's baptism

This past weekend we went to Birmingham for a special celebration. Baby Hugh was baptized! Here are some pictures from lunch after the baptism.

I didn't get a picture of him in the gown he was baptized in. It was beautiful! Old lace makes me happy. Hugh II {my grandfather}, Hugh III {my dad} and Hugh IV {Anderson... my brother} wore the same gown when they were baptized. It's 80+ years old!

Anyway... I get a thrill when it comes to heirloom baby clothes if you can't tell!

This was the coat my Mom wore when she was baptized. Libby wore it too except she was a little bit older than Hugh... she was walking! Not the best thing for a walking toddler to wear. :-)

Can you tell Libby loves the role of big cousin!?! She's getting pretty good at it!

 He is absolutely precious to us, and I can't wait to watch him grow up and learn about God's love for him. We love you baby Hugh!!
