Claire's Baptism

This past Sunday, Claire was BAPTIZED in our new church!! Praise the Lord! Don't get me wrong I feel with 100%+ certainty that all children our the children of the Lord, baptized or not; but I can' t tell you how full my heart is that we stood in front of our church and with our church congregation and many of our family members vowed to raise our daughter a Christian and for her to receive God's blessing! We are so grateful to have such a wonderful family that made the long trip to witness Claire's special day! She looked so sweet in her long white dress....she just would never look at me and smile...! March 28, 2010 - Claire's Baptism

So many wonderful gifts to mark the special occasion; a bible, handkerchief doll, silver cross, the most perfect picture frames, and garden tools (of course Claire's fav, thanks Auntie Liz)

Our little family

In the name of the Father.....
