Do you renounce evil?


Baptism Crowd

We spent last weekend in Birmingham, hosting a bunch of folks to help us baptize Oliver into the Catholic church. Although Tim was only there for a 'touch and go' (18 hours on the ground for 12 hours of driving!) it was a great time.

Thank you to Luke and Meg Teel, who are Oliver's godparents--we are totally comforted to know that in you two Ollie has two ready examples of the kind of person we hope that he becomes.

Thank you also to Paul and Mandy Birch, who were there to celebrate the occasion as well - your friendship means the world to us.

Thank you to Tom McCaleb, who drove all the way up from Florida to be a part of the day--Oliver will always have a great example in you.

Another thank you to the McGoverns--it was great to see you guys again and re-live the 'old days.'

It was great to see our family, on both sides, who joined us on Sunday...thank you for your continuing support of us and Oliver.

Finally, thanks to Chris Wee, who got to escort Tim back and forth down the highway, and then got shacked with carrying around the camera.

All in all we are so happy that Oliver has this crowd of people around him who care about his future--that is very comforting as new parents!
