August 19, 2012 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Watertown, S.D. Pastor Schaller was very happy to baptize our precious daughter. She seems perfect to us, but she is still sinful and needs God's Forgiveness of sins.
My father, Dean, came and brought the baptismal gown that has been worn by my family on his side, for over a hundred years. A lot of babies have worn it for baptisms. I think that it is very special for Ruthanna to wear it, partly because it is from back when things were different, but the way we want to make them for our family. Slower paced, more family values, more church values, and more self sufficient.
Ruthanna's Great Grandma Millie Kuhlman is on the left along with her grandparents on the right, Paul and Melanie Dummann. We are very thankful to live close by them. They have lots of experience raising children and it shows that they did it the right way, so we will be looking to the for advice as well as my parents.
The Dummann grandchildren. It is hard to imagine that in a little over a year and a half, Ruthanna might be as big and smart as Larissa. And then before we will know it, she will be all grown up like Kayla. We are really cherishing our time with her in these early years, as they fly by, we are told.
My two precious girls, we are still trying to figure out if Ruthanna will have brown eyes like her mom and darker hair, and other features. Hopefully she got some of her good looks from me too, LOL!
It is sure nice for the two sisters to have daughters close in age to be able to play together for years to come at holidays and gatherings, or just visits.
