8 is GREAT!

We had Carly's baptism this weekend and it was such a sweet experience. Here she is with Daddy before the service. James performed the baptism and confirmation. During the confirmation he told Carly that she is "a light to her family" and that she should "seek out the Spirit." It was very touching.







Here is the family at the chapel. After seeing the first little girl get dunked under the water, Brady said very loudly, "I don't ever need to get baptized!!"






Grandpa and Grandma Eakins, Grandma and Grandpa Walters, and Aunt Jennifer all came in from out of town for the event! What a lucky girl to have such loving family!

What a wonderful experience for you all! Please tell Carly that she looks absolutely beautiful in her baptismal dress. I am so glad that you were able to spend such a special moment surrounded by friends and family. Love y'all! Laura

Your kids are growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday Carly fell asleep in the middle of pounding on your parent's piano.

It looks like it was a great day.
