Anna's baptism

Today I was privileged to perform Anna's baptism at Bethel Church. Tim and Jenny's good friends Kaare and Michelle Kvenild served as sponsors, and Jenny's family was up for the occasion too. Gary and Brenda and their kids, and Joy's parents and her brother Nate and his family also joined us, and after the service we all gathered at our house for lunch. With all three of our kids here, we were able to get a good photo of the 3 siblings while we were taking pictures.

Hina Matsuri (Japanese "Doll Festival Day"

Pete, Michelle and Summer came up this weekend to see Anna, Tim & Jenny's new baby. Joy likes to put out all her Japanese dolls and decorations this time of year for "Hina Matsuri," and so we had the traditional Doll Festival food, and dressed Summer and Ellie in kimono.
