Born Of The Spirit

Today was sweet Molly Rose's baptism. It was a beautiful ceremony and both girls were angels. Molly looked so beautiful in her gown and Lucy was a very proud big sister. It was so wonderful having Molly baptized at Cook Chapel, where Andrew and I attended so many Masses together as a dating couple. There is nothing more wonderful than mixing nostalgia with the romance of new life and rebirth. How is it that God blessed us so much by giving us the chance to start our family here in the mountains we love? I don't know how long we'll be here, but we'll always have sweet memories of our first years together in our own little heaven.

Today was ALSO Paul's first communion! He was so proud and we're so proud of him! I can't believe our little baby brother is on his third sacrament...where does the time go?!

These pictures are not in any particular order - here's our little bird sacked out after a long day of Jesus and lasagna.

Lucy ten seconds from a Cousins and Cookies overload. She had a great day running around with the kids, and everyone left just in time for us to spend the evening with a toddler in tears.

All in all, it was a beautiful day full of love, family and friends and we're so happy to have reached another milestone for our little happy family.
