We all love Matthew and were so touched by his baptism today.
Matthew and his pastor!  Wonderful picture behind them!



We went to drop off some pictures and information for Max about Bill's grandpa that came  on a boat from Germany to live here in America.  I took this picture of Jack while I was there.  Such a handsome and sweet grandson!

I'm always sad when I remember 9-11.  So many lives lost, injuries, hurting families and hurting America.  God got us through.  We will never forget!  

I wished my BFF and her husband Happy Anniversary.  We are so thankful we have them in our lives and that they are "family" in our hearts.  

We went to Matthew's church today to see him get baptized.  We were behind this fast moving van on our way there.  I called Kimmy to see if that was Jared speeding ahead of us and she said it was lol.  Jacob was with them, and Vikki brought Peyton, Isaac, Adam and Eli.  We all sat together in a row close to the front.  Debbie was there when we got there and Tom came in afterwards, and they sat next to Matthew.  The worship was really good.  The service was amazing and the Truth of the Word of God was preached.   It's always good to know the Word of God yourself, because now days, some churches preach what they want rather than sticking to God's Word and what it says.  So thankful Matthew is in a good church.  He gave a great testimony on Video and that had us crying.  Then he gave his confession of faith and his pastor baptized him.  More tears of joy!  We all congratulated Matthew and took some pictures.  Afterwards, Debbie and Tom treated us at Tim Hortons.  So nice to celebrate Matthew's special day with him and family.

Bill and I went to Coco Loco's to eat and took a picture to send Hailey and let her know how much we missed having her there with us.  We used to take her there with us when she was home.  It wasn't quite as good without her.  

We came home and gathered some photos and documents we got at Ellis Island when we were there to take to Max because he is doing a report on his great great grandpa who came over from Germany on a boat to live here.  Can't wait to read it when he is done. 

Bill and I played 3-13.  It was a close game the whole time and the final hand was the deciding factor.  Last time we were so close, Bill won on the final hand.  This time it was me.  So much fun! 

It was a great day!  I woke up thanking God for the breath of life in us still as we woke up.  Now I am thanking God for the family and friends he has given us, and all He did today.  He is so good all the time!
