My brother and his wife attend a Lutheran church close to their home and asked both sides of the family to join them on their important day. From the moment we entered the doors of the church, the people opened their arms to greet our family. From the music to the liturgy to the baptism service itself, the entire day was a precious time for our family to spend together.
Avery Grace is our "miracle girl," and we are honored to stand by her parents as they raise her. We desire to be a help, a constant source of support, anything you need at a moment's notice. In short, we desire to be what God created us to be ... family.
Perhaps at no other time has my family understood what it means to support, to love, to stand by each other's side. What a precious time to welcome Avery to our family.
