Baptism

We had a wonderful baptism weekend for our first daughter.  We had Richard's mom, Richard's Dad and his wife Brenda, my mom and my niece come for the occasion.  

A little girl in our ward waited a few weeks to be baptized so that she could share the occasion with our daughter.  Our family's parts in the baptismal service included Brenda (Richard's dad's wife) giving the prayer, Richard's dad leading the music, my mom playing some beautiful arrangements of hymns on the piano and Richard's and my mom doing a piano, violin duet for the musical number.  We had a lot of people from both our old and new wards show up and felt a lot of support from them.  
All in all it was a wonderful weekend full of fun family meals, stories, walks around the neighborhood and college and lots of great conversation.  Thanks to our parents for making the sacrifice to be here!

I didn't realize that Katie was getting baptized. I will have to tell Abigael. I kind of feel sad that we weren't there. Tell Katie Congrats from us! p.s. It is me Jenny, I need to figure out how to get my posting name to change.
