One year ago today was one of the best days of my life. When I look back on it, and think about the timing of the events that allowed our youngest child to be baptized on the same day our oldest two children were confirmed, I know that only God could have ordered everything to work out that way. I couldn’t have planned it if I had tried! I am so grateful for the gift of faith Chickadee received that day, and for the growing faith that has been a part of Turkey and Bunny’s lives since their baptism days. My most fervent prayer as a parent is that all of my children will continue to walk in the faith that began in them when they were baptized, and that they will always love the Lord with all of their hearts.

Happy first Baptismal birthday, Chickadee! And happy Confirmation anniversary, Turkey and Bunny!
