Jane Ellen's baptism














Today was a big day for Jane Ellen. Her baptism. Thank you to everyone who came to support her and us as we begin our journey as a family in God's faith. Thank you to her Godparents, Michelle (for coming all the way from Ontario to be a part of the celebration), and Laura, Bryan and Daniel (our companions at mass) - we know Jane Ellen will grow in great faith through your example and prayers, thank you. Mom and Dad (aka Oma and Poopa) and Elke and Darwin, thank you for all your help in the preparation for this big day. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such kind and helpful hearts and amazing cooks and bakers too! Thank you as well to those far away who wanted to be here and sent their blessings ... you were a part of this celebration in spirit!!

Yesterday marked the first day of spring with beautiful warm weather. Today brought a snow storm. The priest suggested to the congregation that we should pray for spring to come back. You better believe we are!!
