Baptism

Olivia and Eugene were recently baptized at our church. This photo was taken at home because we left church right after the baptism, and before the end of the service.

Apparently Olivia read the part in the Bible that tells us to sing to God, because as soon as the congregation started singing, she joined right in and kept on going.

Many thanks to our Pastor Jim Gilchrist. Thanks also to our Second Presbyterian Church Elder (and friend), Beth Coolidge, for standing with us at the baptism.

Stats & Habits

Things are changing so fast. It seems that the kids pick up and lose habits faster than we can record them. So Tracy came up with a list of their Stats and Habits at 6 months old. Our thanks to fellow twin bloggers the Curlettos for the inspiration behind this posting.
