Sniffles

Well, I knew it would happen, I was just hoping to hold if off for a while longer--the first cold. Lydia came down with it on Friday and then kindly passed it on to the rest of us through the course of the weekend. Baby Jude spent an uncomfortable night last night. His little nose is stuffy and he's just generally not feeling well--poor little guy. Our kids have always been good at getting ear infections, so we're praying that Jude won't end up with one. We have multiple boxes of kleenex out and humidifiers running throughout the house, so hopefully we'll all be recovering soon.

Jude was baptized yesterday. We didn't have our usual big party because we weren't sure Pastor would be here to do the honors as his father just passed away. Thankfully, Pastor was here and even though things were less planned (on our part) than usual, it was a very special day. The opening hymn was "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" which was the first hymn sung at our wedding. As our family of eight (taking up the entire front row) sang with the congregation, I reflected on all the Lord has done in fifteen years. As we continue to trust in Him, I know He will keep walking along side us each and every day as they unfold as He has ordained.
