Camilla's baptism day

Camilla was baptized on Saturday, August 1st. It was a great day and she really enjoyed being with her cousins. She was nervous about going in to the baptismal font, but she did it. It took two tries because her foot came up out of the water the first time. After the baptism she told the water was cold, and asked me if it was cold because the River Jordan was cold where Jesus was baptized? She also told me her neck was sore from daddy holding on so tight making sure she got all the way under the water. Hee, hee. She did say she felt good and we are so happy she wanted to get baptized. Here are a few pictures from the day.
