Pure

We had such a fabulous Halloween weekend. The most anticipated event was Carter's Baptism on Halloween Day. We all thought it was pretty awesome that he would be receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost on Halloween . . . something he will always be able to remember!

It was so great to have some of my family make the trip from Salt Lake to be here for our special day. There is nothing like having family visit and spending the time together was so fun! The weekend went way too fast.

My sweet mom posted this lovely poem on her blog describing this sweet moment:

real power

five young girls
one young boy
fresh still, round downy faces
some permanent teeth
but, mostly baby
all dressed in white

there was no fanfare,
fireworks, or dignitaries
but what took place was
truly astounding
heavenly gates unlocked
angels and witnesses

all that really mattered
happened
pure, wet, shiny
six priesthood daddy's
mama's ever watchful
guiding

gappy smiles
shake hands and embrace
smiley eyes
perfect trust and obedience
angels...
"behold your little ones"
