September 16, 2012

A month has passed already, but I do not want to miss an opportunity to document that September 16, 2012 was a very special day. 

Noah, Adeline and I were baptized and our little family of four joined a beloved church. 

I wanted Adeline to have something special to wear for the service, but I really couldn't imagine her in a traditional baptismal gown. I decided to make a dress for her from one of my husband's shirts. The empire waist is high to accentuate the long skirt and the original shirt button placket is incorporated at the back of the dress. I hoped it would be simple, sweet and understated.






















After the service, we had our family to our home for lunch and dessert and were thrilled to also celebrate my Grandma's 85th birthday on the same day. It will certainly be a day to remember for many reasons.
