Anela's baptism and march birthdays

On Sat. my cute baby Anela was baptized! Her brother Makana baptized her. It was a very special day. Her dad was there watching over her. we missed his physical body but felt his spiritual presence. i had tears in my eyes watching makana go into the font and to see nellie come down to him, be baptized and to watch kana wrap her in a big bear hug. she was confirmed a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by many of her uncles including matt, carlos, wilson, jason and scotty which i know he felt very touched to be invited to join in her blessing.
anela, i love you very much. you are a good example to those around you. you are a sweet, kind friend and a very cute girl! you are creative, artistic and smart.i am very proud of you. i will make you playdough any time! (anela told me she reads my blog!) love, aunty kelly

I wish I could've been there! She is so blessed to have an auntie like you so very close. You have been there for her since she was a little baby! I can't believe she is eight.
special day.

It's hard to believe that she is aready 8. I got a little teary eyed reading about Makana baptizing her. They are a great family and they are lucky to have your family as part of it.

I still cannot believe she is 8 already and I'm so proud of Kana! Glad you could be there for them and it looks like you all had so much fun!

Wow, I am thinking of when she would come over and play with Audrey when they were Three. Time goes so fast when they are little.
