Several babies, older children and adults got baptized in this congregation today. Family could join the parents at the font. Here are the proud parents just after Martelize was baptized. The "dominee" used water quite liberally and Martelize opened her eyes when her forehead got soaked, but she closed them right away again and SLEPT right through the whole ceremony.
After the service at the church. It was good to see so many friends and family there and greet the ones who could not make it to the tea party at their house
At the party: Three generations: Jan, Thelwyn, Martelize and Miekie
Martelize wore the dress I had made for Thelwyn's christening. I had made the dress after a picture in a Burda magazine that Lalie had brought me from Germany while I was still pregnant with Thelwyn. Martelize looked just as pretty as Thelwyn had, but like Thelwyn, she was unimpressed with the long dress and all the fuss. So just after this picture was taken, Thelwyn dressed her in her specially made short purple dress!
Colour co-ordinated Mommy and drowsy daughter.
Thelwyn made this pretty purple party dress for Martelize. The dress is made out of cool cotton, but the overskirt is sequined organza. I am sure this is the first of many party dresses! (A little later, Thelwyn dressed her in a very cool white cotton sundress which she had bought yesterday in anticipation of today's hot weather.) Who else has 3 dresses lined up for a party!
Martelize, you are the answer to many, many prayers. Today has been a very special day. Your parents have made a pledge to teach you the ways of the Lord. We pray that you will grow up loving the Lord and honouring your parents. God has something special planned for you! May you be blessed greatly!

Sandra, ek weet nie of jy die kommentaar sal sien nie: ek het jou blogs gelees en wou kommentaar lewer, maar om een of ander rede wou die "comments" net nie oopmaak nie!(?) Dit klink of julle baie aktief is. Mal oor wat julle in die kindergroepie doen. Ons het ook die liedjie gesing "Pasop mondjie.." by die kleuterskool waar ek was, maar het die woorde van die ander versies aangepas om dit vir die (2e of 3e taal kinders) regtig verstaanbaar te maak: "Watch your elbows where they bump..." "Watch your legs where they kick...."
Is sy nie die mooiste fraaiste dingetjie nie? En so soet deur die hele doop en kuier! Hierdie tannie is BAIE trots...
Baie geluk met die feestelik geleentheid! Oe, mamma en dogtertjie darem pragtig, hoor...en knappe ouma maak die rokke -- sjoe!
Mag sy opgroei om die Here te verheerlik, en mag Sy genade altyd haar deel wees.
Martelize het te pragtig gelyk. Ek het nou op Dorette se blog gesien van die dieretuin uitstappie Franco en Martelize word nou so oulik!
Baie geluk!
Dankie ek het die comment of die kinderblog gekry. Die internet is maar baie keer vol streke.
Klein Martelize het pragtig gelyk op die groot geleentheid! Mag Sy die liefde van ons Hemelse Vader elke dag voel en ervaar en vir haar ouers en oumas en oupas 'n groot blessing wees.
Baie dankie vir al die komplimente en die gebede. Ons is so trots op ons twee kleinkinders - ek kry onttrekkingsimtome as ek hulle nie gereeld sien nie!
