"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the HOLY SPIRIT!"

We welcome Joy into the family of God as she receives the gift of Holy Spirit through baptism. On May 25, 2008, Joy was baptized at Peace Lutheran Church.

Joy enjoyed celebrating her baptism with friends and family after at Gardunos Mexican Restaurant. She even got to open a few gifts, much to her delight!

Joy Joins Panda Club!

By divine coincidence, Dave and the kids ran into a play group just for girls adopted from China while playing at the park last month. We attended our first meeting of the Panda Club last Saturday and made a whole new group of friends that live close to our home. Ryan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that many girls who looked just like his sister all in one room! (Joy is on the far left in the group photo).
