Brace yourself...there are a lot of pictures ahead! Maryn was baptized on June 27 and we had so many friends and family in town to celebrate! It is times like this that we realize how truly blessed we are. Baptism is a special day, a day that we as parents promise to raise our child in the christian faith, a day that Maryn is blessed in the name of the Holy Spirit, her original sin is forgiven and she is welcomed into our faith. We promise to be examples of God's love to our daughter and to raise her to be a loving and honest woman. She is our gift!
We love you Maryn Amelia!
Maryn's godmother, Kristen
Kristen and I have been friends for 15 years
Grandma Cummings squeezing in some love before the baptism
The first time that Uncle Shawn and Uncle Phil met Maryn (my brothers!)
She doesn't go anywhere without her bow!
Her auntie Marita captured this amazing shot
This is the same church, in front of the same altar, almost 3 years to the day, that Mac and I promised ourselves to eachother
Father Wilson, godmother Kristen, godfather Tim
I'm sort of obsessed with this little girl
Our angel...my mom made this beautiful bib
Grandma and Poppop Cummings gave Maryn her beautiful christening bonnet and gown. It's gorgeous! I had her initials monogrammed on the bottom and my hope is that the rest of our children will be baptized in this gown as well as our siblings children.
I cannot even begin to explain the sincere and lasting friendships that I have. I don't have any sisters and I married a man without sisters as well. My friends are my sisters. Because of this...I consider them aunties to Maryn. They all traveled from San Francisco, Chicago, Birmingham, Boston, Minneapolis, and Cleveland!

She has really found her hands in the last two weeks. She gags on pacifiers and bottles but the hands are just so tasty!

I just love this shot of poppop and grandma cummings with baby Maryn
We miss our family and friends already..it was just so cool having everyone here to meet our daughter and to witness one of the most special days in her little life so far!
God Bless!
