Please rejoice with us, Rexford, Ethan, Isaac, Lilly and Danielle were baptized in November. They went up before the church and gave their testimonies of their salvation during an afternoon baptismal service and upon their profession of faith in Jesus were baptized. It was absolutely wonderful. Our pastor had spoken to them all previously of course:) I don't want to put our pastor on a pedestal or anything but I can't begin to tell you how good it has been to be under him. The church here has really ministered to our needs and have been so supportive to us. I know this is the Lord's work through them:)
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We ate...I didn't overeat but this was our menu, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potates in brown sugar, sage sausage dressing, cranberry relish (mom's recipe), spinach casserole, corn, whole wheat buns, pumpkin and pecan pie. Afterwards we played outside, tag football, ultimate frisbee and 500. One of the kids got bit by a mosquito..:) The weather is still so nice, we have covered up the pool though, the last day we swam was on hubby's birthday in Nov.
Last week on Rexford's way home from work he ran over 2 deer. The car is pretty messed up but he is fine:) This week is his last week of school before winter break. Ethan took the ACT in Oct and scored one point higher than Rexford, which was pretty tough to do. So Rexford's amazing score has been dimished by Ethan...lol we have to give him a hard time about it. Ethan is now applying for college and before I know it I will have 2 in college:)
Here is a portion of the baptism. I had to cut some of it out so it would fit better.
