Carely's Baptism

My beautiful neice Carley got baptized this past Saturday. She is the oldest of all of the cousins in my family... and therefore the first baptized. It was so special! It has been a really long time since I've attended a baptism and I LOVED it. Seeing her all dressed in white and in the baptismal font with her dad, what a special moment, I have to admit it brought a few tears to my eyes! I honestly wanted to just freeze time and savor the feeling. I wish I had more memories of my own baptism, the few I do have I hold close to my heart.

I am so proud of Carley for making the decision to be baptized. What a huge responsiblity it is to be the oldest, sibling, cousin... anything really. Always having to do everything first and having everyone watching and learn from you. She does such a fantastic job and there is no dought in my mind she is meant to be the eldest, she does such a great job... she is so much like her momma! I love her to peices and I hope that she will continue to have a desire to make good choices and do what is right. She is the sweetest, most tenderhearted girl I know! We are so lucky to have her in our family and appreciate the example she is to her younger siblings and cousins.
Love you Carley Bean!!!
