DEDICATION and RAINY DAY ACTIVITIES!!!!!

Sunday was Jaden's dedication. Three Liabenows, four Websters, four Rumleys, two Stauchs, and Luke's family were there. B & M missed the whole thing, but they at least made the lunch at L & L's.

There were four families dedicating their children. Pastor does such a nice job telling the meaning of the child's name, giving an applicable Bible verse and just good thoughts about children being the glory of God. It is always a great day!

The proud parents...

Pastor holding baby Jaden - he was such a good boy (Jaden, not Pastor, although Pastor did a great job).

After church, we all went to L & L's where we met up with M & B. It was a fun time with 21 people there (missed you T & E). Grace took my camera and took LOTS of shots of the activities.

When we got back to E & D's it was raining and the electricity went out. Emily had planned on s'mores over the fire, but of course, it was raining and the wood was soaked. So, we improvised. Emily & Elyse made them over candles. It took awhile, but it tasted just the same.

Dan-o needed something more substantial than s'mores, so he made Kimchee soup. It smelled so good. He said he wouldn't make it too hot, so I tried a bowl. YIKES! Never listen to a Korean when he says it isn't too hot. Maybe not too hot for him, but for the bland American I am, it was a wee bit hot. But, it tasted amazing. I only burned for about two hours. The taste lasted into the morning. Yum, yum!

Today we are in Shipshewanna. The water park doesn't open until noon, so we are going to explore the town and the shops (to Zachary's thrill and excitement). Maybe we will find our living room furniture.
