The Rohrer Family: My littlest child of God

I really wanted Julia to be baptized at my home church in Buena Park, CA, where Tim and I were married. So Jen and I decided to have Caroline and Julia baptized together! They were baptized (along with 14 other kids!) on July 6, 2008, my 6th wedding anniversary! I am Caroline's Godmother (Jen and my cousin Char are Godmothers to Thomas). Julia's Godfather is my Uncle Gilbert (my Mom's brother) and Julia's Godmothers are Uncle Gilbert's wife Fortune and my own Godmother's daughter Theresa Drew Falk (below in the multi-colored dress). It worked out that Tessa (what we have always called Theresa) was going to be in Southern CA for a visit while her husband Chris was in a seminar in Northern CA. I still can't believe we were able to see eachother twice in one year, unfortunately our first visit together was for her mother's funeral. But the second visit was so special with Tessa becoming Godmother to Julia, just as her mom was my Godmother.

Julia and Caroline wore beautiful long baptismal gowns my mom's friend brought back from the Philippines, just for the girls! Thomas and Matthew, who where baptized at our church here in GA, wore the same short white baptism gown, but these girls had the long traditional gowns...
