Notice Pastor Peter's face. This is after he thought we came close to "fumbling" a handoff of Hailey. :) We knew we were in control. :) What a special special (special) day! :) Today, the girls were baptized at our church where Ryan and I committed them to the Lord and promised to do all we can to raise them to know Him as well. God's grace is truly AMAZING! So many friends and family came into town for the occasion and it was so great! The girls did AWESOME during church and didn't even cry when they were baptized. The 1st and the 2nd grade girls sang the following song along with a good friend. We had a super nice lunch for family afterwards and everything was picture perfect! The girls were wearing dresses made out of Ryan's grandma's wedding dress so they looked so beautiful and precious and what a neat memory. These words to the song truly are our prayer for Addy, Emily, and Hailey.
Little eyes, may they see only the good in all
Little hearts, may they beat for Your will and no other
Little ears, may they hear the still small voice of the Lord.
Lord keep Your hands upon our little babies
Love and guide them, Jesus walk beside them.
Lord keep Your hands upon our little babies
Our precious gifts from above. (chorus)
Little feet, may they walk on the straight and narrow path
Little mouths, may they proclaim, the goodness of the Lord
And when, they're grown and we are gone, we pray Your name they'll carry on
And by Your will, oh Lord let it be, that they'll live with us for eternity.
CHORUS"

love you guys ... can't wait to see you!!!
My cousin, Marisa, and I were talking about how emotional we were. It was a beautiful service for the beautiful little girls! And the fact that there was a piece of their great-grandma with them made it even more special.
The girls looked precious in their baptism dresses, but then again they are adorable ALL the time:) That's so neat that the dresses were made from a grandma's wedding dress..what a neat keepsake for them.
