Ellie's Baptism Weekend, pt. 1

With our impending move to Princeton looming in just a few short weeks, Phil and I felt strongly about baptizing Ellie in our beloved Charlottesville. So this weekend, we had a wonderful few days with family and friends to celebrate this important life event. Grandma Connie arrived on Thursday, and the Dong family arrived on Friday. On Saturday, Ellie went for her first stroll on Grounds. (Mr. Jefferson's university does not call it campus.) The lawn at UVA is just beautiful and was perfect for a few family photos to commemorate Ellie's visit to Grounds.

Ellie really is in this photo, but you can't see her as she is tucked away in the BOB stroller!

We were thrilled to have my brother's girlfriend, Katherine, visiting Charlottesville for the first time, too.

Ellie tried to stay awake with all the excitement, but just couldn't keep her eyes open for a picture with Dad and Grandma.

Steve brought his labs, Dawkins and Rugby, along for the walk. No family photos would be complete without the boys!
