Harper was baptized on Easter weekend in Austin. Despite the fact that the service didn't start until 8pm (an hour past her bedtime) and lasted for 2 hours, she did great and loved looking around and taking everything in. She of course screamed when the actual baptism happened, because she did not love the water OR the oil on her forehead.
Other than the wonderful experience of having our first child baptized, the most memorable moment of the evening came when I carried her up with me for Communion and she proceeded to grab the chalice and spill an unbelievable amount of the wine down the front of her white gown. It must run in the family - those of you that were at our wedding (in the same church) remember that by the end of the evening there was a huge red wine stain down the side of my dress. Luckily my mom, the domestic magician, was able to remove the entire stain and rescue the Christening gown to be used for potential future Sherrard/Murray children and hopefully generations to come.
