Cora is sitting in the child's rocker that my great-grandfather Bradford made for my grandmother. She's wearing the baptismal gown that belonged to the husband of my great aunt Hazel,probably dating back to the 1890s.
Our family before the service
Cora was listening and watching Pastor Jerry closely.
Our Athens family stood with us--Cindy and Bekah Sobel, and Rachel and the Seuser family. (You can see "little Scott" peeking in front.)
The walk to "meet" the congregation who will support her and us in prayer.
The actual baptism: The water flattened all of those curls on top for a bit.
Being prayed for like this is such a blessing.
All the excitement wore out Miss Cora.
