Baby Dedication Pictures

This is Kurt and Heidi's Pastor Todd Kinde, Grace Bible Church, (http://www.gracebible.ws/about.htm) praying for each baby as they were dedicated.Above is Kirsten, and below is Rachelle. It was a very special service as the Pastor shared each baby's name and what it meant, then he prayed over each one individually. We were glad we could witness this special occasion.


Kirsten "sleeping like a baby"

Rachelle....."snug as a bug in a rug"

Grandpas and Grand-daughters (Ron and Ken)


The girls on their embroidered baby blankets....which

Each summer Joel goes to a camp sponsored by the Christian Horizons camping and vacation ministry. Last year he attended the camps at Kettunen Center, Tustin and the one at Cran-Hill Ranch in Rodney, Mich. Christian Horizons holds camps all around the world, so we were pretty excited that Joel made it to the front of their brochure!!! he was pretty pumped about this!!!

You have love and compassion as you live for the Lord,
You're giving and caring, and a Mommy to Four!!

Camping and card games to name just a few!!

So now on your birthday we just want to say,
We love you so much have a glorious day!!!
