Emily's Baptism

We had quite the eventful weekend. We were fortunate to have our family in town visiting for Emily's baptism. We were able to get a lot of great pictures- too many to share all of them, but here are a few:

Not only was it a special day for Emily, but for our entire church congregation. Today was the first Sunday in our new sanctuary. Below are pictures of the lifting of the cross as it was moved from the old sanctuary to the new, followed by the bagpipe processional.


Once in the new sanctuary, Emily was baptised.

And he took the children in his arm,
put his hands on them
and blessed them.

Mark 10:16 NIV




Being together also gave us a chance to get some great family pictures:

We want to give a special shout out to Susan & Sheryl who made the long drive in the middle of the snowstorm. It was a long and treacherous day for them (literally, a drive that should normally take about 6 1/2-7 hours took them about 12!). We were thankful they made it safely. (Thank you to everyone else who also made the long drive as well! We were glad to have all of you here!)

Carly had a blast playing with all of her cousins!

(She idolizes all of the big kids!)

Here she is wearing part of her fairy costume.

Emily enjoyed lots of snuggles.

Thank you to everyone who came. We had a wonderful weekend!
