Pictures-Weekend Shenanigans

We went back to our old church this weekend and spent time with our former church family.
*SIGH* we miss them so much.....but are also so thankful God blessed us with a new one!
Anyways.......we had baptisms/potluck/baby shower after church. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, maybe a little too chilly for the pool, but the dunking still got done and victory was still won!!!!

This young lady had an amazing and powerful testimony.....God brought her out of alcohol/drugs....(drugs that the doctors say a person can never get off of) but HALLELUJAH, by the power of the CROSS< Jesus has set her free!!!!

Three Daddys got to baptize their daughters....it was awesome to watch these young girls testify with that childlike faith what THE CROSS and Jesus dying for our sins means.....I can't wait til our kiddos are old enough to understand it all!!!

My cousin's Marci's husband, Pastor Ben, baptizing their daughter.


Our friend, Erik, baptizing his daughter, Anna......
Our friend Sean, baptizing his daughter Taliah......a precious, precious little girl with cystic fibrosis.....it was so sweet to watch......


Good quality time with Daddy.....

Our friend David also had a powerful testimony....God has already been nudging them into the ministry field, it's so exciting to see what all God is doing in their lives!!!


Our sweet friend Nickole giving her testimony......


OH, I remember that feeling......such peace and JOY when you come up outa the waters......

Stretching our hands and praying over David & Dara as God is sending them into the ministry.
Dara just took a full time position with YOUTH FOR CHRIST in Iroquois County, stepping down from her full time Sports Trainor position. And though satan is going to try and deter them off this path God is calling them to go........they will stand strong as mighty warriors!!!!

On the way home, we stopped off to visit both of Jason's grammas and entertained them a bit with some monkey business.....

It was close to supper time and no naps.....

So serious grouchiness and hyperactivity was starting to set in.......


But we made it home.....and were thouroughly blessed by such a beautiful day.....

It was good to have you "home" (or at least one of your homes:) I loved all of your pictures! Did you know that when Teleah went for her last CF check up here was the report...She is growing more than expected! Praise God! She has not been hospitalized as usually happens at least once a year! Praise God! AND her lung functions are better than a "normal" 5 year old! PRAISE GOD!!!!!! What a great and gracious God we serve! Jennifer is being induced next Friday for baby Jayce!
