It's Great to Be Eight!

Kirsi got baptized yesterday. I can't believe she is already eight years old! The time goes by so fast! The baptism was wonderful and we had so many friends and family there. Thank you everyone for your help and for supporting Kirsi!

My mom taught me how to sew. Unfortunately, I haven't used that skill as much as I should have over the years. I decided for Kirsi's baptism I would make her a dress. It has a VERY full skirt. It wasn't easy to sew, but Kirsi loves to twirl in it!
I included this photo to show you the kind of support we have. We really feel blessed! I think having the baptism on a Sunday was a great idea. During the week it is so hard to work around schedules. Thank you everyone for coming!!! For those who couldn't come--we missed you--especially the family that couldn't come!
