Molli Beth's Baptism

There are many things that you look forward to in your child's life and one of the biggest for me is when my child decides to make Jesus Lord and Savior of her life. Molli Beth did that, actually sometime at the beginning of the summer. We then spoke with our pastor and children's pastor, she then took a "new christian's" class that helped her affirm her decision. So on August 24, 2008 our little girl was baptized. She is such a smart little girl and knows so much about Jesus, The Word, and His will for our lives. She has even shown that she is quite the evagelist at school. We are so very proud of her and her decision for her life. As we watched her in the baptistry with Brother Michael is was as if she was an angel from Heaven. I don't think I have ever felt emotion like that. Words can't express how excited and proud we are.

We were also very lucky to have our family there the day that Molli beth was baptized.

Sally

Well, June went fast, but July went even faster. Not much has happened, but I did get to take girls only trip to Panama City, Florida with some friends from church. We actually had a blast. It is amazing what 4 days away from the "routine" will do for your life. The children had a hard time at first, but they soon adapted to Mom being gone, especially since they have a great Daddy that does so much for them. He was so gracious to let me go, he even arranged childcare for a couple of days. It was great. I got to know several ladies that I would have never probably known otherwise. We had great funfilled days on the beach, getting tatoos (airbrush of course), eating lots of great food and other GREAT times.......

Of course I had to bring home the kids a gift since I had left them for soooo long, so I decided to get them each a hermit crab. Knowing that these things were pretty low maintenance and inexpensive I thought it was a great decision. Little did I know that they did not have a very long life expectancy when cared for by a 4 and 6 year old. We named them Harry and Sally. Unfortunately, Harry did not last but about 2 days once he was brought to Tennessee. This was Harrison's crab and he was upset, but not as bad as I thought. Sally, on the other hand, is still alive and digging. She is a very friendly crab who loves to get out of her cage and play with her Mom, Molli Beth. She does a great job taking care of her and making sure she has food and water. So we shall see how long this pet crab will survive.
