Baptism

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of the twins' baptism, about two months late (they were baptized on June 27th). This lag is an unfortunate trend that I'm hoping to correct, but no guarantees... :-)


The girls are modeling their haute couture gowns. Zoe's gown was a generous gift from her Godmother Joanne.


Toby and Joanne are Zoe's Godparents.




Matt and Teta Tanya are Izzie's Godparents.





Both girls were real troopers through the baptism; not a peep from either...


Proud parents observe the proceedings...



Ulana holds both twins during the Presentation.




Izzie couldn't make it through the entire service...


Babi, Buzz, Alex, and Mak look on.


Proud grandparents Didyo and Babusia watch.
