Finley's Baptism

OK, so here I go! I am going to give this blog thing a try (after some persuasion from a dear friend). My main goal is to write down a history for our kids. SO many things happened in our day to day lives that I want to always remember and I want the kids to hear stories about. I figured I could blog to document these things and give our family and friends an opportunity to know what's going with us. SO, here I go!!!!!!!!
On Sunday, September 27 we had Finley baptized at sunset on the beach. It was such an amazing day!! The ceremony was held at the same place Murray and I were married. It's hard for me to put in words how amazing it was. The weather was beautiful and we were surrounded by about 40 to 50 of family and friends that mean so much to us. It really said a lot that that many people took time out of their busy lives to come out on a Sunday evening to support Finley/us for the very special occasion. Murray and I feel SO blessed!
Finley wore a beautiful handmade gown my mother-in-law made 20 years ago. All of her grandchildren have worn it for their baptisms. The pictures do not do the dress justice. A few snapshots are below.

Emmett's (impromtu) 1st Communion! He was really hungry and wanted the bread but he did very good "dipping".
