Today marks a special day for a memory and an new memory was created.
Memory remembered...
Three years ago today, the kids and I were baptized together. Our church picnic was at Camp Coleman. Sometime during the picnic, the pastor performs baptisms for those who so desire. The kids had already approached us about being baptized. Of course, many conversations and prayers later, Keith and I decided they were ready. I had been baptized but had never been "dunked" as our preacher calls it. So, I thought this would be a great day for me to be baptized (again) as well. So, we were all baptized. What made it so great is that the kids and I got to go into the river together with the pastor (not just one at a time) and Keith was able to get in with us as well (he was "dunked" -baptized-as a child). So, we were baptized as a family...like the family of Jesus. It was just way cool. -----On a side note...I found the biggest rock in the river, hit my toe on it, and broke my toe! God wanted to make sure I remembered THAT day! AAAND...it's ALL on video!!
A memory made...
As I stated in an earlier post, Donovan has started high school football (his first time to play EVER!). Well, today he had his first practice scrimmage. It was a "touch" practice with no Pads and such but it was still a practice. It was weird seeing my own child on the field. I'm used to watching everyone else's children! Of course I was the only mom out there with a camera! But, hey, the newness will wear off soon enough!!

Jane, what a neat story about your family baptism. Your site looks great. And, I can see myself being the only mom with a camera one day. I'm sure my sons will be totally embarassed just like I was when I was a teenager but they'll love the pictures one day! Hope you got a lot of work done today at school!
