Jeb's Baptism



When we were home in the states, we went back to our old church of RiverTree to get Jeb baptised. It was such a great day. I also thought that infant baptism was so sweet and was a little bummed that Jeb was older, but it was one of the best moments in my life. As Pastor Chris was baptising him, he looked up with his big brown eyes and stared as if he knew exactly what was happening. It made me realize that this was the most appropriate time in his life to give him to the Lord. At a time when Jeb's health is in question and the future so uncertain, we know one thing forsure - he belong heart and soul to Jesus.

But it wouldn't be us without a blunder or two. As soon as we sat down I saw the plastic grapes on the communion table. Grapes are Jeb's favorite. We had to really divert his attention as he tried to squirm his way on to the grapes. Then he discovered Aiden below him and continued to kick him in the head. Yes, the Koops boys know how to put on a show!

Heard from Alison about the CF diagnosis. Know that we're thinking about all the way across the ocean.

Hope you get the resources you need to help you through this. As a parent of a kid with a life-long condition, just remember that most times it's harder on us than them because they don't know any different.
