what a GREAT day!

Surrounded by some Friends, Family... and perfect Strangers... Jamie was Baptized at Crescent Beach today!! It was sooo beautiful and sunny, and the venue was so intimate. Lots of people huddled around and celebrating together with those who shared their stories of Salvation and Hope (there were 11 people baptized... some really amazing examples of God's faithfulness!).

There was a HUGE crowd

so much to do!

I'm madly getting ready... Laundry, lists, notes for the wonderful babysitters and teachers... gathering medical (and other) supplies ...ahhhhh. I'm seriously hoping that I won't forget anything too important.

BIG NEWS: Jamie's getting baptized this w/e :0) ...pretty awesome.

not as big of news (but still important) ...Lan's (dare I say it??) toilet trained! (perhaps that statement will come back to bite me in the butt?!... I hope not... the babysitters hope not!).

15 Days and Counting....

It's a busy week... Conn has his first day of Kindergarten :0) How cute!... Aiden's in the groove of school (to the point that when I asked him who he played with today, his response was, "you know, the usual people" - WHAT! who are the "usual people"?! You've only been in school for a week!). Ridiculous. ...Lan. ...well, I LOVE being just Lan and I a few times a week... it's going to be wonderful!
