Josiah's Baptism

Josiah was baptized this past weekend! One of the baptism vows is that the church as a whole will help to raise this child. I am so thankful for that, as each day I become more aware of my selfishness and inadequacy. What a blessing the community of friends and family is, especially when raising a child! I have to admit, my eyes welled up a bit when I looked out in the congregation and saw both of our families and the church members. I was thinking about how these will be the people who will help us through potty-training, discipline, picky eating, driving, first dates...they will help us teach Josiah about the Lord and His faithfulness. Wow. I truly miss St. Louis and our friends there, but I am thankful daily for the community here in which the Lord has placed us. I know He is good and it is good. And hopefully we will not move for a loooooong time.

Okay, enough sentimentality. Here are some pictures, which is probably all you want to see anyway :) These are actually shots from the "pre-game" photo shoot. We'll have the church pictures up later in the week...
