A Beautiful Fall Day

Jenna's Baptism

Today Jenna was welcomed into the family of God at Haven Church. She was very good, and Pastor Randy was very considerate to do the baptism at the beginning of the service since she was getting fussy and ready for a nap. We had lunch with family afterwards, which was lots of fun. We're glad everyone could come and celebrate this special day with us.

We found Jenna's outfit at the Zeeland Christian Craft Show.

(I did not make the outfit or the cake.)

Happy Birthday Brendan!

Brendan turned 6 yesterday. Birthdays get more fun as the kids get older. Brendan was so excited for his big day. He loved bringing a treat to school, he knew exactly what he wanted on his cake, and he was thrilled when he got to go to Walmart to pick out a toy. Uncle Kevan and Aunt Marci came into town, which made his day even more special.

We're so thankful that God has given Brendan to us. He adds lots of energy to the family, he's adored by his little sister and brother, he's so friendly, outgoing, creative and intelligent. He loves everything about school and is making lots of new friends. Happy birthday, Brendan!

Brendan wanted Alex the lion from Madagascar on his cake.
