September 19, 2010 - Macrina's Baptism

Macrina Anne was baptized at All Saints Orthodox Church in Chicago on September 19, 2010. Our dear friends and mentors, Steve and Debbie Kellar, are her Godparents. See below for photos from her baptismal service. The Church welcomed eight new members during this service, five through baptism and three through chrismation (annointing). Thanks be to God!

After the service was over, our families gathered at the Kellars to celebrate Macrina's big day. This is how Macrina chose to celebrate with us:

May God grant you MANY years Macrina Anne!

Weighing in at 5 weeks . . .

Macrina turned 5 weeks old on Wednesday. At her doctor's appointment today she weighed 11 pounds and was 22 3/4 inches long. Way to go girl!

I think we may have a redhead here . . .

(and a Leo to boot! Could be trouble! :)

Miles loves his sister!

Is Macrina really that LITTLE or is Miles just that BIG?

What a special moment with Oma, who is 92-years-old in this photo with 1-month-old Macrina.

We are so blessed!
