We went up to the font with the whole family this time. Ainsley was holding Mama's hand while Durham was being held by Daddy. Durham was a little loud and squirmy for the first few minutes, bu settled down eventually. Ainsley did her best to pull away from Mama for the first few minutes and then managed to slip away when Mama went to take Wrenn's new Bible from the pastor. Fortunately, she went straight across the font to cousin Caitlyn who immediately grabbed her hand. Whew!
Wrenn was awake for the whole baptism and didn't cry at all when the water was poured on her head. Immediately after the baptism, Mama passed Wrenn off to Aunt Mary who had driven from Arizona to see the festivities. Having arrived from the furthest away, she won the privilege of holding her for the rest of the service. This was also helpful for Mama and Daddy because watching three kids in the front row of church isn't the most pleasant experience. Now we were down to just two to keep wrangled up.
Durham managed to keep the wiggles in check until after the sermon, after which Mama and Daddy took turns watching him run sprints in the basement.

Afterward, a few of us went back to our house for cake and refreshments. Wrenn got a few super special gifts and Ainsley and Durham got to run themselves ragged at yet another party.
