Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the greatest husband in the land. Lennie, I'm so grateful to have you in my life, and I love watching you with our son.

We love you Lennie!

Baptism

Today, we celebrated our son's baptism. We walk in faith that God is with us and hears our prayers. We believe that we are saved through grace, and that it is important that God is always a central figure in our family.

Matthew, we pray that you will be continued blessed in your life, as you have blessed us. Matthew means "Gift from God," and we truly believe that you are a gift to us. We can't wait to see you grow up and discover your strengths, and as you learn of your weaknesses, we pray that you will look to God for strength and wisdom.

During your baptism at First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, I read the life verse that we selected for you. I hope that you find these to be words to live by:

Matthew 22:36-40 (The Message): One of their religion scholars spoke for them, posing a question they hoped would show him up: “Teacher, which command in God’s Law is the most important?”

Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.”

Three Months Old!

Today our son is three months old! My how time flies!

Son: everyday we find ourselves more and more in love with you! What a joy it has been to watch you grow!
