Baptism / Blessing Day

Well we had our oldest baptized and the youngest blessed all in the same weekend. It was a little crazy, but the good kind of crazy. Elizabeth has been waiting as patiently as she could for the baby to come so she could get baptized. We wanted all the grandparents to be there for both so we waited to do them the same weekend. Elizabeth got all the family involved and gave everybody a job, either speaking or singing, or getting them to help some other way. She said that the water was a little cold, but she told Katie as she was standing there shivering that it was the best day of her life. I hope that she will always remember it. She is such a good girl. She is a major help in my life. Sometimes she hides from me because I am always saying Elizabeth do this or Elizabeth get me that. I am so proud of her and the decision she has made. My mom said Elizabeth was just like me and that must be why we get along so well. And Elizabeth said "We don't get along". I just started laughing. I know she thinks I am tough on her, but I know what she can accomplish. Here are a few pictures from the big day. Hasn't she grown up into a beautiful young girl.

We also blessed our little David Layne. He has been a great little baby so far. He is putting up with his sisters well. They love him just a little too much. They tend to smother him when ever I put him down. He seems to say leave me alone I am trying to sleep. I am sure one day soon the tables will turn and they will be telling him leave me alone. Danielle always says "Danielle hold baby" She seems to be adjusting pretty well. We are so excited to have a little boy and can't wait until we get to see a little more of his personality.
