Happy Day!


Sorry I haven't posted for awhile! Jessica got baptized-YEAH! We are so proud of her and her choices and hope Jessica can continue to grow in her testimony! We were overwhelmed with all the love and support family and friends gave her and us on her special day! Many came that made great sacrifices to be there (including Grandma Hirschi a week after knee replacement and Aunt Pam suffering from acute pain that has been now diagnosed as Rhumatoid Arthritis)We are truly blessed by all that came! And,I'm always amazed that Heavenly Father blesses us with people in our lives that fill in the gaps for our weaknesses and there sure were a lot of loved ones that filled in for mine! Jessica had some really special gifts given to her that I simply do not have the talents for and it made me so, grateful that Jessica has women in her life that make up for some of her Mother's weaknesses! Thank you to so many that made her day special by thoughtful gifts and coming and suporting us!
I am also accutely aware of how blessed we are to have Jon be worthy of baptizing our daughter. He gave her an incredible blessing when she received the Holy Ghost it is a day we will cherish for a long time! We are truly blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a special day for Jessica. It looks like you went to a lot of work to make it such a wonderful memory for her. You are an awesome mom!!! I miss your inspiration. Will you come and coordinate Ethan's baptism this August?

You're such a good mom. Jessica is such a good example for my little Kenlie. In fact....Kenlie asked how much longer before she gets to be baptized just like Jessica.
