Baptism Boy


A Baptism is soon to transpire. I will write the details of the event later. For now I just wanted to spotlight him. He is a sweet boy and upon mentioning a girl he has his eyes on, he pulled this smile for me...he is definitely his father's son. This layoff of Trevor's has afforded him more time with his children than he has had in long time. This past fall Justin has learned how to duck hunt. He cleaned the duck himself and grilled it, all the while raving about how good it was (yuck). He has caught more fish than his father and has muscled the cleaning himself. He is radiantly proud of himself for being such a fisherman and that is clearly the highlight of his life right now. He even personally caught and shot 3 rats that live close to Grandma's creek. He is learning more about quality work and responsibility. We have also been impressed by his brilliance in mathematics and his hastening reading skills. He is a great young man and we are thankful to have him in our home (or in his grandma's and grandpa's for the time being).

Such a sweet young gentleman. And I am sad, he is supposed to be betrothed to Olivia.
