Today Mary Catherine was baptised at Effingham Presbyterian Church. Reverend Andrew Putnam performed the sacrament of baptism. Granddaddy Rowland McLaughlin was the elder assisting in the service. We had lots of visitors for the service. Mrs. Linda and Mr. Eddie Potts came from Fort Mill. Flo & Jay Vinson attended as your godparents. hose with us from Charleston included: Meme, Mel, Pop Pop, Aunt Pam, Great Aunt Carolyn, Great Aunt Dolly, Great Aunt Mary, Great Grand mom Donna Hartley, and Barry Watson.

Attending from out of Town included: Jim and Myra Epps, Tyler, Keisha & Tanner Epps. Robby and Marty Milam, Ashley, Jim, Caroline & Charlie Mac Toman, the Bob Boozer Family. Mary Catherine did so good and never cried. She wore a beautiful candlelight raw silk christening gown which was hand made and embroidered by Gram Donna McLaughlin. It even has a dot of her blood inside the collar. She wore a bonnet which was brought to her by Linda Potts from Ireland. The bonnet came with a poem which can be framed with the bonnet. It converts and is to be used as a brides handkerchief the day Mary Catherine gets married. Both the dress and the bonnet have Mary Catherine's monogram on it. On the slip Gram Mac made to go under the dress, we put Mary Catherine's initials and the date of the baptism. After the service we all retired to the family life center for a lunch. It was a wonderful day!
