Proud parents with Elainea and Deacon Jack Clark.
Proxy Godparents, Deacon Jack Clark, Mama, Baba and Elainea.
I love the expression of love and happiness on Hannah's face!
Two peas in a pod.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."Our love to God is measured by our everyday fellowship with others and the love it displays."

The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life.

We were so blessed to experience the sacrament of baptism with Elainea this weekend. The day was wonderful and we were able to celebrate with family and friends. She wore a beautiful white dress that was able to stay white despite her activity level. We are finding out that she really has difficulty sitting through mass, let alone mass and then a baptism ceremony. Joe had to take her outside to get the wiggles out several times. When the ceremony began she ran out of Pam’s arms and behind the altar. When she peeked out from behind the altar and saw people looking at her she would smile and run in the other direction. She finally settled down long enough to complete the baptism. Our gratitude goes out to Uncle Lowell and Aunt Mary Jane for standing in as god parents for Uncle Gary and Aunt Elizabeth and to Deacon Jack Clark for performing the sacrament with such warm affection.Afterwards we were fortunate enough to have family and friends join us in a small reception. She loved being the center of attention. She has a magical way of melting people’s hearts.Our wish is that some day she will understand and appreciate the wonderful gift of being part of a Christian community. This community is another extended family that she will find in all corners of the world. Keeping this in mind she will will never be alone no matter where she goes. We will do our best to show her God’s love for her through our special vocation of family. Our promise to her is that we will help her understand that she is a special creation and a unique expression of God’s word and that the world would not be the same without her.We hope these photos will let you experience the sacrament, or help you remember how special it was.
