Rosie's Baptized!

Oh, what a sweet and special day. Absolutely beautiful in so many ways! Tia got her all dressed and ready, which was so precious. I thought they were playing in Rosie's room while I was getting ready, but when I went in to check on them, Tia had her almost completely dressed and

ready. It touched my heart so much. We were a bit nervous about how Rosie would do throughout the whole service, but she actually did really well. She started out in a big, white towel, then after the actual baptism, we changed her into the outfit. It was the same outfit that Tia wore for her baptism. I had gotten it in China. Tia wants it to stay in the family forever and have her kids and Rosie's kids all baptized in it. I love that idea! She loved the water and wanted to get back in. I think the cutest part though, was when we were all at the altar, the priest had asked that we all raise our hands for a blessing. We were facing the congregation, so when Rosie saw that they all had their hands raised up, she put hers up, too. It was so cute. Afterwards, we came back here for a dinner celebration. It was a lot of fun. She held up until almost 8:30 and then just couldn't take another minute of the party. She asked for her "BaBa" and we put her into bed. God bless her sweet little soul. It was such a special day and we are so grateful for all who shared it with us. Thank you to all of you. Our hearts are so peaceful, FULL and happy.
