Celebrating Finley

On Sunday we met on the river's edge near Spring Green, WI to enjoy a beautiful summer afternoon. Erin and Dean brought their families and friends together to celebrate Finley Moore's birth and welcome her to our community. Here are Corday, Claire, Henry (10 months old), and Erin as we get ready to head over to the river.

The weather was perfect! Sunny, warm, and not too breezy. It was certainly a day to celebrate and respect the gifts of nature. Here's Erica and her 10 month old Finn.

A close friend of the Anderson family is a Lutheran minister, and he said a few words to mark the occasion. He spoke about the history of Baptism and why it's important to acknowledge our role as family and friends in teach Finley love, patience, and kindness. Dean held Isabella's hand through the brief sermon. (Isabella is Erin and Dean's oldest daughter.)


Andy, Dean and Erin's second daughter, is the little cutie in the center with the white hat.
