We took a quick trip to Virginia for Bailey's baptism. It was wonderful to be able to share her special day, and we were happy to participate in the service: Kirk gave a talk and I played the piano. It was great to see Bailey as the newest member of the church in our family. It reminded me of the great privilege and responsibility it is to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. What a wonderful blessing. We didn't get any pictures of Bailey and Kenny in their baptism clothes, but Bailey had a beautiful white dress that she wore to the church. Bailey's best friend Rina and her mother came to support Bailey, and asked lots of questions about our church and the baptism. Bailey has explained a lot of things to Rina about the Church and what we believe over the last two years since they've lived in Virginia.
While we were there we also squeezed in a blackberry and peach picking trip in the rain (Drew picked the best rocks around), a shark tooth hunting afternoon, and a trip to the Manassas Battlefield where the first battle of the Civil War took place - just a few minutes from Kenny and Christan's house. Kenny and Christan also announced that they are expecting a baby in March. Grandchild #9 is on the way. What exciting news!
