Samantha's Baptism

Samantha has waited a very long for this but her day FINALLY arrived!  We had her baptism last Saturday and it was a very special experience.  We were so grateful for the family and friends who came to support Sam and who helped make it a wonderful day.  She understands the significance of her decision to be baptized and really wants to work hard at making good choices from now on.  When she came out of the font she had the biggest smile on her face and she told me how wonderful and clean she felt!

Clara was having a major meltdown throughout our time at the church so that is why she is missing from this picture.....

My friend Alisa found this dress for Sam over in Woodburn since we were having a difficult time finding one close to home.  It is a very pretty dress and she looks like a little angel in it.

As parents, there are certain events in your life that hold so much significance and are permanently embedded on your heart.  This day was one of those days and we are counting our blessings....
