Today was a special day. Today Miriam was baptized, and it was special for a lot of reasons.Casey's Uncle Peter baptized her and made it very personal and meaningful for us.
Our friend Brad presented her to the congregation while our friend Melody sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness" beautifully.
She wore Casey's family baptismal gown. Casey's Mom made it for his brother Nick, and then Renee wore it when she and Casey were baptized. Esther and Peter also wore it. All of their names and birthdates are embroidered on the gown. I think it symbolizes God's faithfulness through the generations.
We got to enjoy Casey's Mom's cake after church!
Many relatives and friends came to support us and pledge their commitment to helping us raise Miriam to know and love Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. It was amazing to look out at those special people and the rest of our church family, and to realize that they are all there to help us on the journey of Christian parenting. We are so blessed!

What a special day. I loved seeing Miriam's name embroidered on the gown. Beautiful.
And this is the gown which Brad folded UNDER Miriam as he presented to the congregation. Men just don't get it. :)
What a beautiful story! I love the generation gown with the names embroidered on it. That is an awesome tradition! Your family is very blessed and a blessing to others in return.
