Today was the big day! Amira is officially a Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! What an accomplishment! (now she is questioning my spelling, lol, they grow up all too fast!) There is a saying, poem or song that talks about the white dresses a girl wears, 3 white dresses, blessing dress, baptism dress, & wedding dress. But oh, to think of such things... When our nephew (Elder Waite) went into the MTC, it was around that time that I gave Richards nice suit away, because he'd outgrown it... So throwing the two things together got me to thinking, Richard will be mission age in 10 years!
I guess you could say I am very emotional lately, but a simple country song just makes me cry... & thinking of the future, just reminds me of the past... And my how they've grown! And watching them learn, & grow through lifes blessings and challenges. Beautiful things are discovered here, and I cant help but think how much I learn being a part of their lives!
So anyways, hope you enjoy the baptism pictures, hope they turn out better than the birthday ones, lol.
I hope the pictures portray that this little girl lives up to her name, (of course when its important, I mean you should see the way she eats, lol) Amira, means Princess, Belle means Beautiful, and of course Smith means Celestial (so I have heard so many times:)
Ok, so I am a very pleased step-mom!
And I have finally completed some of the scrapbook pages for Richard's baptism, so I will take pics of those and post them...
