Welcome to God's family Greta

A very special day for our family and especially for Greta as she was baptized into God's family at Christ Our King in front of family and friends.  When Pastor Tom did the sign of the cross upon her forehead and breast, she smiled at him.  Such a beautiful moment - it was like you could see the Holy Spirit enter her. 

A quote from a great card, "As you make a commitment to raise your child to know and love the Lord, may you be blessed with His love and guidance... and may you know the joy of following His perfect way."  I hope and pray that Ryan and I can instill in Greta a strong, solid faith to grow upon all throughout her life.

After the service, the family went to Weber's Inn for brunch and it was one of the best I've had.  Then it was back to the house for a celebration with more family and friends and give everyone an opportunity to meet Greta.  A great day with beautiful weather.
