blessings

there are seriously enough pictures in this post to last through the year . . . but there were so many good ones, it was hard to pick and choose.

I am in love with Henry's eyes - these are two of my favorite shots.
This past Sunday Henry was baptized. Henry received God's gift of grace and we vowed as parents and as a church to raise Henry to live a faith filled life. Matthew 12:33 states that a "tree is known by its fruits . . . " It is our hope and desire to nuture a strong faith in our son, who is the most precious and beloved blessing for which we could ever dream.

Catherine made Henry's gown. She did an amazing job - even the button holes were hand sewn. This gown will be used for any other children we are blessed with in the future and will hopefully be passed down for generations to come.
Tricia presented Henry with a Clematis vine, a type named "henry."

the picture above may be my favorite.
