On Sunday July 20th in Montreat, NC Anna Elizabeth (Liza) Bair was christened on the porch on the Jones Cottage. Her christening dress was made by her Grandmother Jones and Great Grandmother Marks and also worn by her Mother and Auntie Em when they were christened.
For our part of the service Chris and I said "because of God's love shown to us in Jesus Christ and the life of celebration this love brings, we want to have Liza baptized into the life and faith of the Christian community. We ask God's guidance in helping Liza to grow to respect herself and others. We bring her here today with joy, accepting the trust that has blessed us with her life." We were pleased to have so many family and friends with us for her special day and thank the Reverends John Rogers, William Straughan and Peter Rhea Jones for making this day so absolutely perfect.
We certainly missed all those who couldn't be with on this day and we appreciate all the thoughts and prayers sent our way. Liza's Auntie Em couldn't resist the opportunity to send a gift and Liza is having so much fun playing with her Mozart music cube. Thanks Auntie Em! Also pictured is the rattle that her Great Aunt and Uncle Ellen and Peter Rhea Jones gave you - Liza's mommy failed to write a thank you note for it so we hope this posting on the blog makes up for it!
Liza and her Popa Jones share a quiet moment watching the leaves sway in the wind - a new favorite activity.
