Week 4 of Isla's life....
Dear Diary,
The beginning of week four of our darling daughter's life saw her being baptized! Our own minister has been off ill for quite some time so we were concerned that we wouldn't be able to have her baptized at Gardenmore but in Colorado. The minister from 1st Larne Presbyterian was assigned to be in our church yesterday so the opportunity was available for which we are very thankful.
We had a lovely day however Nanny Black couldn't attend as she is ill and had to be hospitalized yesterday. We pray that soon she may be well enough to come home to her family.

My cousin Marie Vandenberg is back in N. Irleand for a few days and was able to join us for this happy occasion. We wish Marie well as she moves to Scotland later this week.

Amy also did a great job of holding Isla and perhaps a future babysitter for her!

So far, so good, no problems. We are having a beautiful sunny day and we've been out for an afternoon stroll which she loves.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Heather, Colin & Isla
