Baptism and a Blessing

What a special weekend we had.  We had planned for months to combine these special events.  With the early arrival of Shane it seemed we may not have been able to continue with the plans.  Elizabeth was so excited for her baptism I could not bear to ask her to wait so we continued to plan on it.  As for Shane's blessing we jumped back and forth on what to do.  At first we thought we would try to do it the same day but then not so sure we wanted to impose on Lizz's special day so then we thought we would just wait a couple of months to bless him, but then we had so much of our family planning to be here we decided to go ahead and bless him as well.

On Saturday the 11th Elizabeth was baptized and it was so special.  Thanks to my sis-in-law I was able to have some great pics of this special day. ( I forgot my camera, duh!)

 

On Sunday the 12th we blessed our special little boy Shane Cameron.  Because of him being premature we decided to go ahead and bless him at home.  It was wonderful and I have to say the spirit was so strong in our home that day.  I did have my camera this day but of course the batteries were dead.  I got a few before it completely died but some were from Candy ( Thanks Candy).

 

We had most of our families here for these two special occasions and it was so wonderful.  Thank you all so much for coming.

Bekah and Jereon traveled from Florida and Rachel came from Maryland.  Also my Uncle Shane, Gail and his daughters Whitney and Mckenzie came from Idaho.  What a distance for all of them to travel but we are so grateful.  We also had Carson, Angie and their family and Todd, Candy and their family come from up North.  Mom came from Price and then of course all of our family that lives here.

We are so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family.  Thank you to all of you who traveled so far to share these special occasions.  It meant so much to us.
