one of our absolute faves had her baptism today! miss ngawai rose. it was made even more specil by the fact that she was baptised on her actual birthday day!
let it be known here - we love their family so, so much - so much so that i've even worked a way to keep them around forever, by marrying ana off to joseph (they were mates before they were even born, mel and i were pregnant together) or manaia off to alex - or both, whatever works ahahhaaha.
it was such a lovely day. the weather was perfect, everyone was happy and laughing and the baptism and service was beautiful. ngawai had asked madeline and i to sing during the service and we sang a gorgeous song called a child's prayer that i have always loved.
Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer every child's prayer?
Some say that Heaven is far away
But I feel it close around me as I pray
Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago
"Suffer the children to come to me"
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee
Pray, he is there
Speak, he is listening
You are his child
His love now surrounds you
He hears your prayer
He loves the children
Of such is the kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven
look at these gorgeous sisters! baby sister was sleeping at the time though.
and with their proud as punch dad. ana was so funny, kept popping up in the photos.
and my beautiful friend mel with them.
aren't they just the cutest family!
congrats to our lovely ngawai, what a special experience for you, we were so thrilled to be a part of it.
