LILY'S BABTISM

"THE NEW NORMAL"

The words, "New Normal" are being frequently

passed around since March 13, the

beginning of the pandemic, Corona Virus.

"Covid-19" is the scientific name.

Co for Corona, vi for virus,

d for disease, and 19 for 2019, the year

the virus first appeared.

The virus originated in China, like most

of the viruses in this century.  Bleh.

Lily decided it was time to be baptized.

But, a huuuuge change:

only 10 people could go!

Mom

Dad

Brother

Sister 

All 4 grandparents

Bishopric member

Lily

Grandma Dixie & I went to Genola

the day before.

I had a baptism bracelet for her,

and I wanted her to be able to wear it.

Also, we took her birthday present

that day, to save a trip two days later.

Lily tried on her baptism dress for us.

The dress was $10, and the jacket was $5.

WalMart for the win!!!

Another "new normal"

Birthday present from Aunt Ann.

Doing the baptism like this . . . 

you have to fill and empty the baptismal font,

and clean it out.

Before the baptism, Cole was ordained

a priest, and was able to baptize his 

little sister.

Lily's dad and Papa Reid were the witnesses.

Another part of the "new normal",

everyone got on "Zoom" and we were able

to watch the baptism on our phones.

They didn't start until all family were

checked in.

We could watch the baptism, but not

the confirmation.

The baptism could not be recorded.

Papa Davey confirmed Lily.

Papa Davey & Nana Nina, McKay & Lori, 

Lily, Cole,Grandma Laurel,

Haley, and Papa Reid.

And that's the baptism

"new normal."
