A Birthday and a Baptism

Melissa was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last Saturday!! She waited a long time for this and was very excited. It also brought a lot of family into town which made it that much more fun for her. It's a good thing we have the house we do now, because I'm pretty sure the 11 adults and 12 children would not have fit in our old place. It was wonderful to have everyone come.

Dad got to baptize her.

After, with dripping wet hair and a very happy heart.

Rachel benefited from all the family coming into town by conveniently having her sixth birthday the day before the baptism.

What a fun time! They both look so happy. I wish Pensylvania wasn't so far!

Congratulations, Melissa! What an awesome, awesome event!

And Happy 6th Birthday, Rachel! Can't believe you're SIX already! She was just a little thing when we first met.

So much fun for the kids to all be together! I hope these two beauties had great special days! Melissa, you have taken a big step and our Heavenly Father is proud of you (and so am I)!
