Hello God!

Marley Jean Severson was baptized today, at the Chapel of the Good Shepherd on the campus of Shattuck-St. Mary's.  Father Doyle performed the ceremony, a dear friend of our family.  What a big day for our little girl...officially becoming a Child of God!  It was so sweet to watch Father Doyle pour the holy water over Marley's head, and she didn't make a peep!  Many of our family members were present to witness Marley's baptism, and her Godparents, Neal and Angie (the soon-to-be Larson's) were by her side!  What great role models they will be for Marley as she grows and learns more about God, being Christian, and her faith! 

What a lucky lady Marley is...she had so many loving family members with her today and got a number of wonderful gifts!  Money for her savings account, beautiful artwork for her room, a number of fun books, and some great new clothes!  One of our faves...a "Night Night Prayer" book from Angie and Neal.  We already have incorporated the book into our bedtime routine, right after bathtime and feeding!  Marley LOVED the book and when I read her certain parts, which always ended with, "Say night night to the puppy (for example)," she would pat the puppy in the book!  Smartie pants!

Here are some pictures from today...
