Em and Noah chilling…or I should say ‘warming’ by the fireplace.  We actually use our fireplace ALL the time out here.  It’s warm!  It actually heats up the room so that it’s nice and toasty.  It’s one of those gas fireplaces, that gets turned on and off with the flip of a switch.  Even our kids know how to run in from the freezing cold, flip the switch, and huddle in front of the heat.

Noah has become quite fond of “Uncle John”.  It must be a little strange for Noah.  He sees Uncle John at home.  He sees Uncle John at the prayer room.  Then he sees Uncle John at the Awakening meetings.  Uncle John is everywhere!  John’s M3 has a very distinct sound…and the other day, as John pulled into the garage, Noah came yelling, “Uncle John coming!  Uncle John coming!”

Noah, knocking down a set of ‘decline push-ups’…getting some definition into those pecs.

So far, this post has been featuring Noah…but the sisters.  Wow.  I found them doing the STRANGEST thing in the bath tup today.  For some reason, they’ve been so enamored with the Baptisms going on at the Student Awakening services.  Kay keeps telling me her favorite parts are the testimonies and the baptisms.  Bekah keeps asking when she can get baptized.  Well…they went ahead and held their own little service tonight.  I was in the other room just letting them play in the water, when I heard this, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”  Lo and behold, I came in to find Kay, holding Bekah as they do the awakening services, getting ready to do full immersion baptism…with Bekah holding her nose, preparring for the dunk!  Great practice girls!  -  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
