Our little, Miss Maddy was baptized a couple of week ago on the banks of the Susquehanna River, where the Priesthood was restored. A lot of family and friends came to celebrate her special day. She was even baptized with her cousin, Timothy, whose family drove across the country for the occasion. It was a beautiful day that we will always remember. Madison said it felt like a light bulb had burst inside her tummy the minute she came out of the water. She is such a special girl and so close to the spirit. Her testimony of the Savior is growing everyday. I am so proud of her.
On a side note...I am finding it so hard to blog lately. I don't know if it's the summer and we are so busy, or the fact that I'm just feeling blah about it. I still love to blog stalk people and read all of your blogs...so even though I'm being a slacker...keep posting. Hopefully I'll get out of my funk soon enough!Oh, and if my cute family and friends feel bad I don't have pictures of you posted, please know that I love you and am grateful you were there. I am just being lazy and didn't want to do a long post.

That is so special that she was able to be baptized there!
Don't worry, we like to stalk you as well.
Wow, what a milestone! First child baptized. Congratulations to Maddy. And to you and Clint. Sounds like you have done a great job in raising her thus far. Such a sweet girl. We can't wait to come back and see you guys. We'll be sitting in our apartment in a week!
Love all your disclaimers. So us! :)
That is so neat she was baptized with her cousin and in a river.....how memorable!!! Can't believe we have 8 year olds, they are growing up too fast!! Beautiful family picture:)
You know that I don't care to see us, just that you put you guys up. We had such a special day and visit. Even with the other family. Can't wait to see you soon. Love Mom
Lucy was so excited to see Madison all in white. We sure miss you guys and are talking about a trip up to Ithaca sometime in the fall!
and I go through a blah blog phase about every few months, if that would make you feel any better :)
It was a great day thanks for inviting. J
It was such a fun day--just a beautiful location for a baptism! Thanks for letting us be a part of it, we really enjoyed it. And don't worry, we definitely don't mind if you don't post pictures of us! Look forward to seeing you soon! B
Ohh I so loved it when Darbs was baptised there. It was super special. Bethan was most disappointed she had to be baptised in the chapel font and that we couldnt fly all the way to America and have her baptised in the Susquehanna too!!!!! You have just reminded me that I havent even blogged Bethan's baptism photos (of which there are about 4!) I was too busy holding the towel and holding her hand!
What a beautiful day and big smile on a beautiful girl. Definitely a day to remember.
What an awesome experience! I can hardly believe that you've got one old enough to be baptized. Madison is an adorable little girl and so fortunate to have you as her mother. Your family is so stinkin' cute!
Time flies! 8 years old! Love her white hair accessory. Beautiful pics!
What a cool experience. Maddy is amazing! She is a little girl that understands and will appropriate how special this experience is for her. If I ever get a girl I want a Maddy.
