Reagan's baptism

This beautiful little girl has a big smile on her face because today she was baptized by her father and then confirmed by him with the assistance of about nine or ten others, including a couple of grandfathers, lots of uncles, and a great-grandfather.

It was a very nice service. There little girls were baptized and confirmed. The speakers, the witnesses, and all others involved were all family members or very close friends. Reagan's grandmother, Barbara Sweat, provided the music and her Aunt Angele Hallstrom conducted the singing.

After the service about 60 of us converged on Dennis' and Barb's house for some great food, provided by Cindy's family. When the Sweats and the Bohmans get together, you reallyhave a house full. It was a lot of fun watching all the little cousins running around, being very careful not to step on the adorable Vivian Mae, who seemed both amused and bemused by it all.

Tony and Cindy provided a laptop slide show of Reagan at various times and places in her young life. By special request, the football game was on the HD big screen TV upstairs, and showing on the humongeous projection TV downstairs was "Narnia", complete with surround sound.

A special "guest" was Reagn's uncle Andrew. He had flown in from North Carolina to do three days of interviewing at BYU for Avery-Denison and was able to extend his stay for a few days to visit family. Great seeing you, Andrew.


Our love and congratulations to Reagan and our thanks for posing for this picture for her great-grand parents.

Stay tuned.
