This was another picture that was accidentally left off the baptism post. I could not be more thankful for such caring and loving family that came from Memphis to join us for Olivia's big day. All of these people are so dear to my heart and will play big roles in helping us raise Olivia. Thank you to you all for making the trip.

What A Perfect Day That The Lord Hath Made, I Will Rejoice And Be Glad In It

Sunday morning Hays and I made one of the biggest commitments of our lives. We promised to God, ourselves and Olivia that with the help of God, our friends and family, and fellow church members that we would raise Olivia in a Godly home with the hope that one day she would know Him. We promise to be Godly examples to her in every area of our lives and promise to pray for her salvation daily. Our hope is that she comes to know Him at a very young age.

What a perfect day it was. Olivia was a little angel during the ceremony and talked to the preacher the whole time. I was so nervous that something would happen and she would be unhappy or tired during the service. She did a great job. She napped a little in the car on the way to lunch and was perfect while we were eating and through all the picture taking. It was truly a wonderful day.

Just A Swingin...

So tonight we decided to try out Olivia's new swing. Yes, we do realize that the age limit for this swing starts at 6 months but desperate times calls for desperate measures. The swing seemed to be the fix for the time being.
