Baptism

Matthew 28:18-20 (The Message)
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."

Our kids were baptized today!

Photo opportunity with our Pastor.



Little Man really wanted to sit with Daddy while he played the drums. He sat very still through the entire worship service. I wasn't the only one that was amazed!


Per my request, the band played Agnus Dei. I love that song!


Tater, Baby B, and me.


Reciting our vows to raise our kids in Christ.


Cool!


Tater was happy to go first.


That feels so funny!


Baby B didn't cry.


The baptism was beautiful! I am so happy that we were surrounded by family, friends, and church family on this special day!

Thank you, God!

I'm Baaaaaack!

The computer crashed. Then, we went out of town for several days. Then, I helped my dear friend make a wedding cake. Then, date night with Yardboy. Then, Father's Day celebrating. Yardboy has the computer up and running again. We are back home. The cake has been eaten. The date is over. Father's Day is past. In short, I'm back. Did you miss me?

Limited Obstetrical Ultrasound

Recently I completed training in limited obstetrical ultrasound at a local crisis pregnancy center. I volunteer on Monday mornings when my kids are in school. Scanning pregnant bellies is awesome! There aren't many things more amazing to see than the first flicker of a heartbeat or tiny hands and feet. I find it hilarious that almost every client comments on how big the baby's head is. Then, they blame the the baby's father, "He's got a big head, just like his daddy." Ha! However, things aren't always cheerful in the ultrasound room. I know from personal experience that it really sucks to be the woman on the table when the person performing an ultrasound says, "That's an empty uterus." It really, really sucks!
