Faith is Eight!

She is eight, she is great and she is now baptized. What a wonderful day we had with Faith at her Stake baptism and then at Sweet Tomatoes. Her Aunt Stephanie sang for her, and did it well. There was a talk on what it means to be baptized and then one on the Holy Ghost. I made her a cute bubble top she wore with white leggings so she could have a little memento of her ordinance in the font. She had a sweet white eyelet dress to put on after she was dry to be confirmed in. Her daddy confirmed her and gave her a thoughtful and heartfelt blessing that I hope she will remember from time to time. Her mommy worked very hard to insure she had a memorable, pleasant day. The Mower family came from California to be with her here, and it was so very nice to see them and spend a little time with them. (That includes the Morales' too).

Faith was long awaited by her parents. She was prayed here by the faith of her Mom and Dad as well as our entire extended family. Her name is appropriate for the faith that was demonstrated for her to come to us. The Lord blessed us with her sweet nature, laid back personality, and yes, even her drama once in a while. She loves her family and we are forever thankful for her. She was born in the morning without too much ado. A good baby and easy to take care of. I remember Tawna was doing medical transcription at the time, and Faith would watch T.V. for a couple of hours even when she was so little and let Tawna do her job. She loves to play, dress and imagine with her dolls. This makes me so happy. I loved my dolls when I was her age and would dress them, and pretend all sorts of scenarios with them. I was the oldest in my family too and was used to playing on my own. I still treasure those dolls and hope she will love hers for a while to come. She is a source of joy and happiness to her family and I hope she knows how much we all love her.






Lots of family came to be a part of Faith's special day. Friends came as well and it was a very nice program.



Off to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch with all those who wanted to come. It was quite a group. Thanks Faith, you chose a good place to eat! We all love you so very much. You will be eight and great all year!
