We decided to have Claire baptized ("bath-tized" is how Meghan says it) yesterday.It was important to us to have our priest do this before Claire headed to Ann Arbor, just in case she's in for the long haul and more extensive treatment. A quick, late call to Father Pete and scrambling to invite any family members who could make it on short notice and in bad weather later, and Claire has been officially welcomed into the Church. No time for fancy clothes and a celebration meal afterward... just enough to do what was needed.
I'm up early today... Claire woke up to eat and I can't fall back asleep. We're leaving in two hours for Ann Arbor. I have things to do before we go. Please keep praying... today is going to be a long day for everyone.

Prayers for Claire!
We're thinking of you guys! I can still smell the holy oil from her little head. Love, Beth
Beautiful pictures. We are glad that we were able to be there for Claire's baptism last night. She is a precious baby and a real fighter. You are in our thoughts and prayers today especially. May the doctors at Ann Arbor help her to regain good health.
Love,
Mimi
