Sydney's New Life Celebration!

This past sunday we had the New Life Celebration for Sydney at church. We are a little late doing this as we missed the first one after her birth, but it all went great anyway. At our church we celebrate the little babies once they are born and the parents commit to raising their children in a Godly way by following Christ, seeking His guidance in parenting, reading them the bible, bringing them to church, and raising them in a Christian envrironment. Then, once they get older and learn about God through his word, parents, and church they decide on their own when they are ready to be baptized. Usually the childs father or youth minister baptizes the child during a ceremony at church through immersion in water. I am very much looking forward to that day for both of our girls!

Sydney all ready for church and playing with the phone.

On sunday evening we ran the girls up to the neighborhood splash park to play in the water for a bit. It just opened up and since it was closed all last summer, we were very excited to see it back up and running again finally! We will be spending a lot of time here in the coming months as it gets hotter and hotter!

The girls were SO excited that the splash park is open!!


Yay for water!


Sydney was having so much fun playing in the water. This was her first time to play at a splash park so we weren't too sure if she would like it or not. Turns out she loves it just like her big sister!


So happy!
