a sneak Peak

remember my post a few weeks ago about taking a family Picture?? well, here are a few of the throw backs...Our Christmas Cards are coming soon:)))

a quiet celebration

There are so many milestones that a child goes through that mean so much to us as parents... But for me, a child's Baptism, is one of the most special and sacred....
Claire was radiant as she prepared for her baptism that day...She just couldn't wait to have her chance to enter the waters of baptism and be washed clean. But it was when her Daddy confirmed her that I saw the tears gently slide down her sweet little 8 year old cheeks...she was so touched by the prayer, so touched by the sweet spirit that had attended us that day that she began to truly feel the arms of a loving Heavenly father encircle her...and she was overwhelmed..The Bishop gently called her up and she walked up to the front with a little flower hankie and dabbed at ther eyes and It just took my breath away..
I am so grateful that we celebrate a baptism so quietly...we need to be able to hear the Spirit and listen closely so we can receive him. It could not have been a more peaceful, reverent day and I am so blessed to have celebrated this milestone with my sweet family...

Our Family...
