A day that will never be forgotten

Back in a May I was lucky enough to participate in a baptism that I had been looking forward to for a long, long time.

And it was a day that I will never ever forget.

I was honored and proud to stand in front of my family and present my children for baptism. I was so proud of Ashley and Natalie when they explained to the pastor what was going to happen, and why. It did amazing things to my heart just knowing that they *got it* and that they *wanted* to do it. And when it was my turn, I can't even explain the happiness and joy I felt knowing I was officially part of the "THE" club (I had been baptized as a newborn, but made the choice to do it again as an adult).

Thank you to everyone that came and supported us. It really was a day that I had planned and looked forward to for a long, long time. 

PS Thanks, Dad, for taking pics for me since my camera lens was broken

"And Peter said to them, repent and be baptized every one of you

in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins,

and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Acts 2:38

Such a beautiful church

Hey Blue Eyes 

Ash and Natty were so excited to watch the pastor get everything ready beforehand 

My heart aches with love for these beautiful girls
PS Lots of thanks and love to Kathy for making the dresses for Easter and then for cleaning and repairing them so they could be worn at their baptism

Now that's a good-looking family! 

All us ladies.....minus the way Ash is standing!

Not sure what's going on here, but I look too grouchy to be in church!
