New Beginnings

Last week Kay came home from work with a little surprise.  I was in the basement and could hear him walking across the floor, but I also heard a tiny meow. 

 

 

He'd found this kitten at work in a box and by the end of the day decided he ought to bring it home.  She barely had her eyes open, so we figured she was probably about 2 weeks old.  She learned to eat from the dropper pretty fast, and a week later she's now graduating to a bottle.  Sam put her claim on her and named her "MooShoo"- the dragon from the cartoon Mulan.

 

 

In the middle of all the kitten excitement we also had a baptism.  Miki was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Sept. 8th.  She was so excited for this day.

 

 

We are so proud of her.  When asked what it means to be baptized she said it meant you will always have the holy ghost to be with you, and she will get to be a true member of the church.  She has such a sweet testimony and spirit about her.

 

 

Thanks to her cousin Anthony we have a few fun shots after the baptism.

 My mom was so busy this day with getting to her job, this ended up being the only picture of her.  Miki was excited to have her give the "special" talk on the holy ghost.  It's special because she always wraps the child in a blanket while she teaches them about the holy ghost.

 Here she is with the special blanket from grandma, and her baptism bear from Sam's talk.  The bear is to remind her of her baptismal covenants known as the 3 "bares".

 

 

She was also excited to get her own set of scriptures and scripture bag from mom and dad.  Inside is also her own little hymn book from grandpa and grandma Low.  She also received the ring from a friend, the baptism bracelet and necklace from us.  She had a lot of fun putting the scripture stickers in her sciptures from her sister, Kamill.

We were so grateful for the family that was able to make it for her baptism.  After the baptism we had a dinner complete with all the cafe Rio fixings and root beer floats to top it off with.  Before everyone left we had all the grand kids (and a few great-grand kids) that were here sit in for a picture with grandpa Low.  This is such a small portion of what there is.  Someday we might get everyone together.
