Keegan's Baptism

Today was a very special day for us. Together with our family and friends, we welcomed Keegan into the great "family" of God. We had him baptized at Faith Lutheran Church by Pastor Crick. As Christians and parents, we are called to bring our little one up knowing and loving God.

Jesus told us: "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." It is in baptism that God grants the new life of forgiveness, joy and peace to little children. By the power of God's Word, this gracious water of life washes away sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe.

We are truly blessed to have our families and friends there to celebrate in this special day. Keegan did such a wonderful job. He seemed to enjoy his "mini bath" when Pastor Crick baptized him. He was all smiles during the pictures. May God continue to bless you and your families and may His light always shine on the path that you walk.

Summer is finally here! We can't believe it. Mommy is out of school - she is going to do some contract work as a Recreation Therapist and work about 10-15 hours a week. Papi (and Nana - now that she is out of school too) will watch me when Mommy is working. Mommy is doing this so she can spend more time with me. It is great. I just got back from Dallas with my Mommy and Daddy. My Daddy had something with his work - it was fun. We swam at the pool and I got to see my Auntie Kirsten, Uncle Scott, and my cousin Landen. My Auntie Kirsten is going to have another baby in December. We are really excited. We hope you all are doing great. I am going to be 7 months in about 4 days. My Mommy and Daddy say that I am just doing great. I am a very happy baby now (better than the first couple months where I was fussy britches).

I hope you all continue to have a great summer. Be safe and stay cool! May God continue to bless you all!

I love you all

Keegan

It has been awhile since our last blog. I have 5 more days of work. YIPPIE! I can't believe this school year has gone by so fast. It has been a very busy month - I still have so much to do. I hope I can get it all done. Keegan is doing great. He is enjoying his 3 meals a day; he loves pears, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, winter squash and bananas. I have been buying organic food or I have been preparing it myself. He seems to really enjoy the "true" taste of the fruits and vegetables. We hope all is well with everybody. I hope to do lots of blogging this summer to keep you all updated on Keegan (and us)!

We love you all
