Tessa was baptized last Friday... on the 26th. Just before sunset we went down to a private beach on Oahu and she walked into the ocean with her daddy. Our friends Kevin & Chase Cottle were the witnesses. Chris read us some scriptures and gave a small talk. It was such a wonderful experience for all of us! A lot of the pics look like it was totally dark, but really we had plenty of light and it was absolutely beautiful! To keep in form with Hawaiian custom, when Tessa came out of the water, we put leis around her neck and kissed her precious face. Congratulations, our Tessa - we love you so much!
These pictures are the ones we had taken on Tessa's birthday:
P.S. More of our Hawaii pics will be coming soon!
Congratulations! That is such a great memory she will always remember. Her pictures are beautiful!
