Both her grandma’s (my mom and Steve’s mom) shared their thoughts and feelings about baptism/Holy Ghost and it was so sweet to hear their thoughts and testimony. I was reminded again just how many people love and support us and our children – it takes a village to raise a child and I’m so grateful for the people in our village.

We gathered at our house afterwards to celebrate with food. The weather was perfect and we sat outside into the evening enjoying soup and rolls and the company of friends and family.
