Emma's baptism


On Sunday, January 22, 2012, Emma was baptized.

During the baptism, Byron and I took five vows before our congregation.

These are two of the vows we took:

* Do you promise, with the help of God, to bring up your child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, to pray for her and with her, and to make every effort to order your own lives that you will not cause this little one to stumble?

* Do you promise to encourage her, as soon as she is able to comprehend its significance, to confess her own faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and become and active member of Christ's Church, serving faithfully in her fellowship?

It is our prayer that Emma would never know a day in which she did not know and embrace our Lord as her personal Lord and Savior.

Emma was so tired after the service, she fell asleep during picture time.
With our *wonderful* pastor, George.

Sleepy head with daddy.

There is no doubt about what side of the family Emma got those beautiful blue eyes from.
With Aunt Rebecca.

Special day to be so tired. Seems to me that this tendency comes from her mama! The photo with the pastor is hilarious!! Byron, are you ready for having TWO tired girls?
