Spring and Pearl

First crocuses.


Pearl and a small cow:



Somebody got an ouchie!

We had gone to Annie's picture appointment, but she was sleeping, so we rescheduled and went to get some Cold Stone treat instead. Then we went to the park.

Annie having just awoke a little before, is now pure observer:

...until she warms up with a good tickle.




Mom, does this remind you of anything? (She took a picture of me like this in a park when I was young.)





Going to Newport News

We went to see my aunt Jenny and her husband Dwight and Sam. Dwight helps engineer new aircraft carriers and Jenny is a math and learning disability tutor and a homeschool mom. Here is the happy family.

Sabrina and her friend Munara from Mongolia came too!



Yeah, here we are:
Annie found some flowers in the front yard:


My cousin Sam, age 11, being the gentleman.

Papa and Annie on the swing in the back yard.


Annie giving us her special dance. (It's like ten minutes.)


The happy couple giving us their karate demonstration.


Going for a walk.
Annie was riding in the wagon and then she gave her dolly a ride.



Dwight and Jenny let me use their sewing machine to make a new outfit for the doll I made Annie this past Christmas.

Baptism




I was baptized Saturday, March 3rd. (For the second time in my life.) I was put in the water again because it is just like what finally happened in my heart: He made me clean inside and washed away my old body for dead. I died and yet I live because made me new for him. I trusted the King (Jesus Christ) and turned to God (October 26, 2007). He is the light inside me now.

This man Jesus finally got me out of all the bad kind of stuff I did. He took my shame so I can do what's true from a new heart. He let me go. I did just whatever I liked to do and and it was just like I was dead inside already. He is my life now. He is my boss. He is the King I had heard about. I choose him and I know in him I live to the max forever.
