Elsa Marie, Blessed Child of God

On April 8, Carl and I packed up the Jeep, snapped Elsa into her car seat and took off for Oregon to have Elsa baptized.

It's Reerslev tradition to be baptized in Faith Lutheran Church in Junction City. And every baby who has been baptized has worn the family christening gown, sewn by my great grandmother. On April 9, Elsa Marie joined the family in the tradition, becoming the fourth generation to wear the gown.

It was wonderful to share the experience with my family and a fun opportunity for everyone to meet the Little Miss. And, of course, a great photo opp!
