BAPTISM DAY!!

Katie has been counting down for this day for MONTHS!! The day finally came and boy was she nervous. She looked so beautiful in her white gown. She looked so grown up. It was such a "Special" day for her and for us. When she was done, she come in and said, "I want to do that again Mom!" Too bad you can't! Sometimes we all could use a practice dunk to get rid of the nerves. We made sure her hair wouldn't float up and Daddy put his toes on hers so they wouldn't pop up either. While she was getting dressed, she turned to me and said, "Mom, this is the start of a new life for me." I always want her to remember that day and how she felt. It was neat to have our family here for her.

Well, I thought I would add some manliness to our page. This is Joe's buck that he shot this last fall with Trevor. Boy we sure have enjoyed the summer sausage and jerky!
