Yea God

Pepe Doug is living out his fantasy---His first grandchild, riding the Puma in the Halleck Center at SJC.

Pam and Paul Muller made the trip all the way from Kansas City to give Greta her baptism. They are amazing friends and supporters of Greta. Paul and Pam both went to SJC with Mom and Dad. Paul's son, Wade, is my dad's god-son. It was a blessing to have such a personalized ceremony for Greta.

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Koch.

The Norton clan. It was amazing to have all of us together----Kyle (glasses) is getting deployed for the third time to Afghanistan in March. We are incredibly thankful for his service.

Pepe and Nona---Greta had her game face on.

The men in Greta's life (minus Great Pepe and Uncle Joey).

Greta's baptismal gown has been worn by her Uncle Joey, Aunt Dana, as well as her Nona. It fit her perfectly. She liked it so much, she licked the material just to make sure it met her standards.

Greta was baptized in a beautiful ceremony officiated by Deacon Paul Muller, SJC alumni (and Dad's BFF). It was truly magical to have a wonderful friend bless Greta-----Dave's family and my family were present---it was such a special day. I feel truly blessed by such a wonderful "village" to help Dave and I raise Greta. Greta missed her Uncle Joey and Auntie Dana---she can't wait to see them at Jennie's wedding in a few weeks.
