Child of God

March 15th was a special day for us - Carter was baptized. We are so thankful that God has chosen Carter to be one of His children. We pray that Carter will embrace this as he grows older and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will grow to love and serve His Father in all he does. 

Kiera developed croup the night before Carter's baptism, and Carter developed a case of the sniffles (which later turned into bronchiolitis and another hospital stay). He was probably one of the noisiest babies every to be baptized - he didn't cry, just grunted, sniffled, burped and farted his way through the service :) We undressed him at the church and never put the baptism dress back on - which meant no pictures :(. So my parents returned to our house the following Sunday, we got Carter all dressed up again, and we took a few snapshots. So.... these pictures are somewhat of a lie :D

Family picture... Kiera was once again not feeling well. We had to take pictures in between throw-up sessions :( She was in no mood to cooperate ... 

All the men in my life - love them all! I have been so blessed!
