A couple of weeks ago, I dressed the girls in their pretty dresses Grandma Nelson bought for them for their upcoming baptism. A couple of months ago, I saw another mother taking pictures of her daughter in her baptism dress outside the temple, and I thought, what I great idea! So, I copied the ingenious thought. Now I will openly admit that I am the world's worst photographer, but I tried really hard to take some good pictures, and I think they turned out pretty well considering the fact that I was the one taking them. We are looking forward to the baptism coming up in about two weeks. I am so proud of my sweet girls' decision to become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The funny thing about their baptism is that I clearly remember my own when I was eight, and it does not feel like it was that long ago. Now a generation later, my own children are making the same choice that I did. I feel truly blessed and I look forward to the day that my whole family will be together again. The interesting thought is that we are able to be a forever family because of the blessings available in the building my girls are standing in front of. Funny how life works out that way. I believe in tender mercies of the Lord and I feel that a sweet and tender mercy will be granted to us on that day. Our angel Katherine will be able to attend the baptism as well. Heaven will be very close on that day, I know Katherine will be near. Then all three of my girls will be together as it should be if only for a few sweet moments. All three of my girls will dressed in beautiful spotless white as it should be, two earthly angels and one heavenly angel watching over all of us as Katherine always does.
Love those pictures. You did a great job! I want to do that with my boys when it is time!
