Hebrews 12:1-3
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Eloise worn the same dress, socks and shoes that I wore for my infant baptism. My parents scanned in some old pictures of me wearing the outfit.....and yep, as everyone says, she looks nothing like me. Actually, two little french grannies stopped me and Eloise on the way to the market yesterday and said exactly that. "She's beautiful....she must look just like her father!" I tried not to read too much into that one, but it isn't the first time at all that strangers that have never even seen Alan have told me Eloise must look like her father.
A wonderful family from church, the Heintzelmans, threw a party for Eloise the following week. We had a DELICIOUS meal and a great lazy afternoon at their house hanging out with friends (and watching some March madness!). The little guest of honor pretty much napped through the entire thing.

Congratulations for Eloise. With such a faith she will certainly be well-inspird and guided for her wonderful life. God bless all of you.
cousin p-roc and I are looking at your pics from afar and enjoying it so much! he sez 'hi!' and sends his love...
Yes, I have to agree that she does not look like your baby picture. She would be lucky to grow up to look like you, though! And let's hope she doesn't get Alan's hairline (tee hee).
