Day of 8


Divine starts the day with breakfast in bed....and an audience, "because," as Ryan put it, "who wants to eat alone?"



Baptism before and after


3/4 keyhole sleeve with a vintage button closure turned out to be just the thing
Also, a special baptism bracelet



Divine likes her birthday because, a: she doesn't have to do chores and, b: she gets to lick her fingers.





Thank you all for your support, prayers, and thoughts for Divine on her special day.
