Birthday Fun

We got to celebrate Luke's birthday with his cousins at the beach on July 4th. His party ended with fireworks. What a great birthday!

John's baptism

John's first post:
The desire to be baptized has been impressed upon me for past few years. I needed to do this because for years my heart had grown cold and unresponsive towards Him. I was not growing closer to Him and I was perfectly comfortable being an undercover Christian out in the world. Thank God for His patience and forgiveness because Jesus has called me back into a growing, personal relationship. Even though I was saved and baptized when I was very young, I felt the need to obey this command as an adult. I wanted to stand in the water as a man, knowing what I was saying, and be publicly identified with Jesus the Christ. He has paid my penalty on the cross, forgiven my sins, given me everlasting life and the Holy Spirit. I have never been more satisfied with life and excited to live every moment for Jesus. I owe Him my all and want to be held accountable. Thanks to all who were able to come to this event in my walk with Him on June 19th. I will never forget the day.

Happy Birthday Lukey!

He loved his firetruck birthday cake!

Visit with Katie and Alex

Luke got to visit his cousins over the weekend. We had a lot of fun! We went swimming, shopping, and to the park; but the favorite activity was squirting each other with the hose!

Birthday and Father's Day Celebration

We celebrated Luke and Erin's birthday and Father's Day with the family last weekend. Erin turned 6 and Luke will be 3! We got to spend the day eating, talking and swimming!
