April 21, 2007 was a very important day in the lives of my oldest two children. They were baptized!!

It was a lovely day; it dawned sunny, with numerous birds welcoming the Sabbath morning. In fact, we saw a pair of quails in our yard, and a Pileated Woodpecker visiting the composte pile. And we saw a Bald Eagle fly over head on our way to church.

It was really neat to see the baptismal; there were rose blossoms floating on the water!

Yes, there were tears in my eyes much of the morning, but at least I didn't bawl the whole time!

Here are some pictures of the glorious event. Along with Timothy and Jennifer, two other young people took this big step.
