A Truly Glorious Day

Today was a celebration so glorious that my husband commented afterwards that he ranked this day as one of the best days of his life.  And, I must say that I heartily agree.

But we can't have been alone in that opinion, as friends and family came to join us, some driving very long distances, to fill four church pews to witness this special event.

And, that's because  today's celebration featured these two little ladies, who hold a very special place in the hearts of so many!


I haven't said much about these two precious granddaughters of ours, but they arrived 10 weeks early, and it's hard to even imagine how small and fragile they were when they first entered the world.  Most of the people sitting in church today were praying for these two from day one, and I think we all realize how very lucky we all are to be able to see them so healthy and happy.

And, so today, these little loves entered the church community as we all witnessed their baptism, but not before their daddy was baptized first.  How special was that?

Soon it was Leona's turn:

Followed by Iris:


And here's the happy family at the end of the event. 


Gramma G made those beautiful dresses and headbands,  but those cuties would look adorable in just about anything, don't you think?

There was a lovely celebration at the house which involved some delicious cake!  


And we managed to get a four generation photo.  How special is this?


Yes, it was truly a glorious day, and Marty and I realize how very blessed we are.  So, here you see Gramma and PapPapG, joyfully holding our very entertaining granddaughters.  


Although it certainly does look like Leona is ready to call it a day!
