Isabel's Baptism

Isabel was baptised on Sunday, August 18 only minutes after Grandpa passed away. We figure that Grandpa wanted to watch her baptism from Heaven. Isabel slept through most of the ceremony, and she still faintly smells like the oil that Father soaked her hair in. She wore the baptismal gown that my great-grandma Bishop crocheted for me to wear to my baptism. Now all of our girls have been baptised in it too. We had a nice lunch at our house afterward, but it just didn't feel quite like a party without Grandpa's laughter.
