Mikayla was baptized today. As her mother it has been an incredible journey to watch her make this choice and follow through with one of the biggest decisions of her life! She is beautiful. In every smile I can see how pleased she is with herself and as a parent, nothing brings me more joy than to see her happiness based on the truths she is living and feeling.
She finished reading the Book of Mormon this morning. She woke up as the sun did and finished reading the last two chapters and then brought her scriptures along with her book marker completely filled in with every chapter she had read. That is what I woke up to, her scriptures on my dresser with the book mark frosting on top! It was a marvelous way to start the day! I am so thankful for her pure goodness and for all that she teaches me. I am the luckiest mom in the world!!

What a sweet post, Jan. I don't know that I've ever seen a situation where a child has had so much responsibility in the choice to be baptized--I LOVE that she read the whole Book of Mormon! That is so cool. I'd love for my kids to have that goal. You are doing sweet things in your house. Congrats Mikayla!!!
I adore Mikayla & am so happy for her & that she had a beautiful baptism. You & McKay are amazing parents!
Congratulations to you all!
