March 6, 2011 was a double dose of special for our family.  First, it was the anniversary of my older brother Mike’s birthday.  I have no clue why, but he was born on March 7th….but, our family always celebrated his birthday on March 6th.  Hence, I will also call that his birthday, as it was on earth and now as in heaven.

The second special event that occurred was our middle daughter (second of four children) was confirmed in our church.  This is a big deal for Lutheran’s, who believe in infant baptism but we also believe that a child has the right and understanding to affirm their faith through two years of confirmation classes.  It’s not just a committment on the child’s end, it’s a responsibility not to be taken lightly.

Here are some photos of DD#2’s special day:
