How precious did that Grace appear...

God Bless Gracie.

Welcome to the covenant family, my dear.  May you never know a day where the name of Jesus is not sweet to your ears.

Preparing for the big day with Daddy in the kitchen.  Notice she is wearing her ruffly G panties from Auntie Shannon and her "mansie"(aka a onesie with the sleeves cut off).  And yes, this is the same "mansie" Henry wore when he was baptized.  But Gracie did not wear the Phillips christening gown.  She wore her Mommy's.  And like her Mommy, we could not button the buttons...

The grandparents come into town for the big day.  Sloan's folks are standing and mine are kneeling.  The chick that Gracie is staring at is our niece, Gigi Phillips (3).  And yes, I'm pretty sure that is what Henry would look like if he were a girl.  It is kind of scary how much they look alike.  Or, at least, how they both look like Sloan's brother, Marshall.

Margaret Grace Phillips receives the sign of the covenant from Pastors Greene and Shelby.

Afterwards at lunch at The Hard Shell.  And yes, we all wore pink. (The G on Gracie's heiny is pink.)   I'd planned for Henry to wear his navy tie with pink and purple stripes, but according to Sloan, that was a battle not worth fighting.

Just so you know, my darling children,  In the beginning there was God and you were on His heart...You still are.
