17 September - Ana's Baptism

This is our church. They have been so supportive throughout Ana's entire adoption process. Terry (our pastor) did a really sweet introduction about Ana and our journey to get her. He is such a neat man. It was important to us to have him baptize her. Terry did a prayer and of course at the end everyone said, "Amen" and then Ana said it too...about 3o sec. after everyone else did and the entire congregation laughed.
I order flowers for the alter every year for my mom (with one white rose) to celebrate her birthday (which was the 18th) and that was why it was important to me to have Ana baptized this weekend. The flower arrangement is as big as Ana! :)


Ana's Papaw (Marc's dad) gave her this bible. We read to Ana every night for about 20 or 30 minutes before bed and she gets to pick the books we read and she went right over to her book case and picked up her new bible! Such a good Christian baby! It was a wonderful day!
Also, today (17 Sept.) we have had Ana home for four months exactly. Another special reason to celebrate! I really can't remember life without her!
