Baptism

Evelyn was baptized this morning at our OPC church. She looked great, wearing a gown made from my mom's wedding dress (Mary Ryken in Wheaton started it a few years ago and Vashti's mom completed it just recently).

Psalm 115

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
12 The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; 13 he will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great.
14 May the LORD give you increase, you and your children! 15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!
16 The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man. 17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!

The Best Christmas Present Ever!

The picture speaks for itself. It is the gift that keeps on giving!

Siblings and kids

Here's a pretty good picture of Evelyn and me with my sister Sarah (the sister formally known as Linnea) and her son, Jonah.

Grandpa comes to visit

My dad showed up at our door Sunday morning to surprise us, claiming that the pictures on the blog weren't doing Evelyn justice and that he had to see her for himself.
