Breakfast in bed and a good hiding spot

For a long time Hanna and Marius have been calling: “ontbijt op bed” on Saturday mornings. And this morning it finally happened. René, the cook and waiter, did a fantastic job!

  

Enjoying pancakes with maple syrup and egg.

What a perfect hiding spot. We could here Nathalie-Ann from upstairs, but when we came in the basement she was quiet. I looked everywhere, even in the laundry room and in the bath room, but no sign of our baby. I quickly checked upstairs again, no Nathalie-Ann. Then I heard her peep again and went in the basement once more, starting to get a little nervous. Finally Marius  found her underneath the baby bed. I had even moved the thing when I had checked the place before but did not realize she was underneath.

Nathalie-Ann and Avery’s dedication in church, nov 15th

Sunday was a special day. We dedicated Nathalie-Ann to the Lord. As parents we made a promise to raise her in God’s way and with God’s help. Pastor Sterling prayed for  Nathalie-Ann and for us as parents and for Hanna and Marius as brother and sister.

Also Pastor Sterling and Jenna’s daughter Avery was dedicated. It was a beautiful and precious moment. The scripture that the Pastor gave us was: Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Crossroads church is an important place for us here. We feel blessed that we are a part of this wonderful church.
