Nigel’s baptism, 2023

| Stacy

While I was driving home from NY and John was in Italy, and Stewart was in NC, Nigel was baptized.  Thankfully, friends were there to take photos and support him.  He was baptized in 2018 at 15 years old, but made this profession of faith today.

I don’t have a lot of info to go with the photos, but Nigel went to Honduras again with a missions team from church.

Twenty-one-derful years

| Stacy

My preemie has come a long way.
He generously agreed to celebrate his birthday a few days early so that the family could go to NY on Saturday and have the chance to go to PCC on Sunday.

I love this boy so much.

WE LIKE SHEEP!

| Stacy

Katriel got to play Whitey in the church musical.

Nigel graciously played the role of the Shepherd.

And I got to help with some of the corralling.

the way things ought to be…

| Stacy

The boys’ bestest buddy from NY graced us with a week long visit.  I can barely dig up the words to articulate the joy it provides me to see these clowns together.

Yes, they are playing Bible Outburst!   Not sure who won, though I got yelled at more than once for “helping.”

New blanket for Nigel!

| Stacy

Tab and I started this blanket… wait for it… back in late 2020 or early 2021. 

Then we did this thing where we moved.  And she had new things to do in our new land, and I proceeded to take the better part of a year to finish Katriel’s blanket last spring…

but I finally got back to it.

And finish it, I did!

I am sure it will come in handy on those dozen cold nights a year we have.

All American Girl

| Stacy

It was Patriotic Day at co op today.  While most kids were wearing red, white, and blue, Katriel donned Nigel’s old Benjamin Franklin (or is it George Washington) costume.

Nigel got the outfit for Christmas in 2012… so it is older than she is!
I had to iron it and sew the straps on better this morning.  But it was totally worth it.
