A Baptism 2'fer

On occasion you get Serendipity. July 30th, two beautiful granddaughters were baptized on the same day into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. One reason Josh's family planned their month-long trek to California, was so we could all take part in Melina's and Gabriella's baptism. Melina turned 8 on July 8th, and Gabby on July 28th, so with much planning and preparation we were able to schedule the baptisms for the same time and place. It took place in the Runyan's Church Building, which is on the same property as the Sacramento Temple - a special place for our family, since our whole family was able to tour the temple 5 years ago during the Open House in 2006. We've added lots more grandchildren since then, but we'll always have special memories of our time in the temple with the whole family.
Congratulations to two beautiful young ladies. You are treasures!

The gang on Runyan's play fort. It was great to be with so many of our children and grandchildren, but we sure missed the ones who weren't there.
