Sydney Gets Baptized!


The Lisk house was filled to the brim this past weekend for Sydney's baptism. Poppy Joe, Ya-Ya, Nouna and Aunt B all came into town on Friday. They were very excited to be able to pick the girls up at school. I don't think any kid has had more relatives at school at one time than Emerson and Sydney did that afternoon. It was a whirlwind!

Saturday morning Auntie E came in from NYC. It was her first trip into the Charlotte airport and we are expecting many more! We had a relaxing Saturday playing outside in the perfect fall weather. Saturday night, Will and I went to a wedding in Albemarle. My parents had fun having the girls "all to themselves" and Will and I enjoyed the free babysitting.

Sunday morning we had a strict shower itinerary to follow in order to get everyone out of the house by 10:15am. We did it and arrived at the church in enough time to let Emerson run off some energy outside before the service started. The same pastor who baptized Emerson last summer was leading the service and Sydney was absolutely perfect during the baptism! Afterwards, we enjoyed lunch on the patio at Max's Ally with Nana and Poppy, Aunt Shannon, Uncle Ben, Jackson and Jameson, Uncle Banks and Aunt Susan, Kevin, Mary and Henry, Karen and Lauren, and Craig and Lydia. It was so wonderful having family together to celebrate Sydney's special day!
