Svea's Baptism

Svea was baptized on January 23rd, 2010.  She was such a happy and content baby throughout the whole thing.  She was awake and alert and then fell asleep afterwards in my arms.  Her Daddy preached a sermon about answering your own call from God.  The scripture he chose to have read and what was on her cake was Isaiah 43:1  "I have called you by name, you are mine"

 Svea wore the baptismal gown that I wore as a baby.  I also assume that my Dad wore it since my Grandma gave it to my Mom.  When I looked up the company that made it I found it was established in 1947 so that's why I assume my Dad also wore it.  Sorry Dad, I suppose that gives away your approximate age:) 

 This picture of her with the bonnet on looks exactly what I looked like in mine.  I'll have to find it and scan one in

I love her expression in this photo! 

 Dan baptized Svea and it was truly a wonderful experience.  I am so happy that he was able to do this.  Stuart and Matt also helped with  the baptism and I loved how they were a part of it too. Dean read the scripture that Dan picked out.

 Svea's sponsors....Matt, Lacee, Pam, Kristin, and Stuart.  Yes, we know it's quite a few, but we don't know if we'll be blessed with another child so there were quite a few people that we wanted involved in our child's life.

 Mom and Ron.....two Grandparents that love her so much!

 The whole Dornfeld crew...the family is really growing!  There was a photo of Dean and Kathy and all of the Grandkids, but I didn't get it on my camera...I need a copy!!!

We all went to our house afterwards and had soup, sandwiches, and lots of cake!  It is such a blessing to have such wonderful family and friends that were able to share this day with us.  God Bless Svea Grace child of God:)
