Welcome

Welcome to our place...just two steps away from the funny farm! To explain this name, whenever things get crazy at our house, I always say "Well, we are just two steps away from the funny farm!" As a very busy homeschooling family, things DO sometimes get a bit chaotic. But we love this life of living and learning together and there is never a dull moment!

The picture of the beautiful Amish farm on this page was taken while we were on the Strasburg Railroad.

Jaden's Baptism

Yesterday was a very special day for our family as we had Jaden baptised. I was so nervous because three year olds can be so unpredictable and I was imagining all the worst things that Jaden could possibly do or say up there in front of the church! As it turned out, everything went very well. There were 4 little ones baptised and of course, Jaden was the oldest! Mark held him and he had a sweet calm little face as Dr. Rogers sprinkled the water on top of his head.

It is so amazing how God is involved in so many details in our lives. Yesterday morning in Jaden's Sunday School class, the lesson was on baptism! How perfect that was! Jaden has a limited understanding of what it all means, but we have explained it to him the best we can. This shows that he is God's little boy and promises to save Jaden if he puts his faith in Him. We look forward to that day when Jaden does know Jesus as his Savior. For now, he knows that God loves him and the seeds of believing faith are starting to grow in his heart.
