March is here. It is difficult to believe that Rebecca has been with us almost 7 months. At the end of this month we will celebrate the day that we saw her face for the very first time. She has changed so much (and gotten much bigger!) We continue to be amazed at how much she is learning. She is very creative as she plays. Today she pretended to put water on a comb to comb her hair--I have to do that for her hair which perpetually sticks up.
On Sunday March 3rd, Mark and I had Rebecca baptized. We vowed before the visible Church and before God that we would seek to raise Rebecca to love God. We vowed to teach her about Jesus. We have a huge task ahead of us!
Here are some pictures from the baptism.

We had a party at our house after the baptism. It was a great time of fellowship with friends and family.
My family came in from Michigan. We were thankful that there were not any snowstorms this weekend. My mom, Ashley and Felicia stayed at the house with us, while Uncle Bob, Aunt Sandy and Aunt Brenda stayed at a hotel. We had a great time of fellowship and fun. Rebecca showed everyone her dance moves.
We spent a morning at Longwood Gardens and generally just sat around and watched Rebecca play with Ashley and Felicia.

We are trying now to get back to a "normal" routine. On Tuesdays we go to the Library for storytime. There are lots of other children and we get to sing songs and read books (one of Rebecca's favorite things to do--besides talk on the phone!) On Wednesdays we go to church for Bible Study. We are looking forward to spring--so that we can go and play outside. (We almost had snow this week, but alas, it skirted by us....I guess sledding will have to wait until next year!)
Today we area going to have lunch with Dada! That should be fun!
