The Girls Got Baptized!

Last Sunday November 11th, both Kathryn and Ellie were baptized at our church.  We had discussed this for the last few years, over and over and over again, and it was exciting to see them make this step of their own choice. We had a dessert reception afterwards and invited neighbors and friends from school to help them share their experience, and we had a great time.  While we were sitting in the service waiting for their baptism, I was flooded with memories of all the conversations that had led up to this.  As a parent, you so want your kids to follow Jesus, but you know that in the end, they must make their own choice.  I've made many mistakes as a parent, (and hopefully done some things right!) but it was a joy to see our children making a public decision to follow the Lord.

Notice the foot! :)

Thanks to our friends Tori and Lori who took great pictures when I couldn't find my camera!
