Katelyn's Baptism day was perfect. So many people came to support her from our neighborhood as well as lots of family and friends. It was also great to have Marci's family, my mom, Greg and his family there too! It was a big day and I can't explain what it felt like to see my daughter get baptized. I am so proud of Katelyn and her sweet spirit. When she came out of the font and I wrapped a towel around her she was overcome by the spirit and began to cry. I squeezed her and asked her what was wrong. She said, "Nothing Mom...I'm just so happy! I know I did what Heavenly Father and Jesus wanted me to do. I feel so warm inside!"
I have prayed so hard that my children will feel and recognize the spirit in their lives, and that they will gain their own testimonies. This moment was such a tender mercy for me, and I am so grateful to be Katelyn's mother.
Chad baptized and confirmed Katelyn, and that was also a little miracle and tender mercy for me. I am so grateful to have Chad in our lives and for his example to my children. He is am amazing man and father, and I couldn't have asked for a better guy. The confirmation blessing he gave Katelyn so was thoughtful and beautiful.
After the baptism everyone came over to our house for dinner. The day was perfect and I am so grateful for all that Heavenly Father has blessed us with.
