Welcome to the family of God, Abigail Thérèse

On April 14th, 2012 we baptized our daughter, Abigail Thérèse. We chose this date because a year ago on April 14th is when we found out Caleb had died. We wanted to redeem the day by welcoming our daughter into God's family. Here are some pictures. The dress she is wearing is actually my wedding dress. I had it made into our childrens' baptismal gown in order to start a family tradition that can be passed down.  It was a great day with family and friends and Abigail did great!

Abigail's Baptismal Candle. 

The wax used to make this candle was from the Easter candle that was used at Caleb's funeral. So the last time this wax was ever lit was at Caleb's funeral. We will make all of our future children's' baptismal candles from the Easter candle as a way to share Caleb with all of our children.

Who could forget the puppy? She was excited by all the visitors over the weekend and even made a new best friend in baby Gianna!
