Today we had Elyse baptized. It was a beautiful day and such a precious ceremony. I am always touched deeply by the official welcome that baptism is into the body of Christ. Amazingly, we had four generations (on both sides) present--We were blessed to have dear family and friends with us (and others with us in spirit) to witness her baptism and enjoy a yummy brunch at Illahe afterward (thank you mom and dad!). A special thanks to Mark and Michelle Mhoon who joyfully accepted the role of her godparents--we are thankful for their faithfulness and friendship. It was a day to remember...
