MAIJA'S BAPTISM


Maija was baptised July 14th...so this post is little late.  Better late than never! 
The day was super stressful! 
Jason and Markus were returnng from scout camp at San Diego that afternoon and Kai was returning from scout camp at Arizona.
Maija's baptism was 5 pm, and we finally had everybody at home showering and getting ready at 4:15 pm. 
We rushed to the stake center. But once we got there all the stress disappeared.  It was a wonderful event. 
We were able to share it with lots of family and friends. 
Maija was the last one of our children to be baptized. 
It is always bitter sweet with her. 
No more babies to cuddle. No more Kindergarteners to sent to school. No more baptisms to plan.
You can do it with other people's children but it will never be the same.
