"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Clara's Baptism

Last Sunday we had an awesome day baptizing Clara. Gammy made her the most gorgeous gown. I know it will become a family heirloom and I hope Clara will one day have a daughter that she can pass it down to. Eric Kleven (my brother-in-law) and Sarah Shimek (who was our biggest cheerleader and supporter in our endeavors to have this precious miracle) were Clara's Godparents. Pastor John did a wonderful job in including the other children. Braeden lit the baptismal candle, Preston held the cloth used to dry her head a bit and Laken held the box for the candle. Clara slept the entire time. She looked so peaceful. Then, it was back home for some lunch, more pictures and gifts. We are truly blessed!

Clara looks so beautiful! Her dress is so precious and I know that Mom was honored to make it. Wish we could've been there. Glad to hear you had a wonderful experience.
