Wisconsin Trip and Layla's Baptism

While visiting WI we went to our nephew Noah's (Chad's brother's son) 5th birthday party. It was good to see everyone.

We got a picture of the three little ones. Isaac is Layla's cousin (Chad's brother's son) and Evan is Chad's cousin Ryan's son. They are all within a few weeks in age.

Layla's Baptism

During our trip back Layla was baptized. We asked my brother and his wife...Layla's Uncle Tim and Aunt Lisa to be her Godparents. We are so lucky to have such wonderful Godparents for Layla. They love her so much and we know that they will have a huge part in Layla's life. Thank you both for everything!! 

Layla was wonderful through the entire ceremony. She wore a baptismal dress that has been passed down in Noel family for years. My Dad was the first to wear it (he is 70 years old)!!!

Father Chuck proceeded over the baptism.

All the kids did the sign of the cross on Layla's forehead. It was very special!

Josh wanted to be apart of the baptism....too cute!
