Stahley is 3!!
We had Stahley's party today at the zoo. She loved it! The kids colored, ate cupcakes, worked puzzles, and played "frog toss" with some bean bag frogs. They also had a story about frogs and got to see some real ones of different types. It was a success!!(yes, mom - she has on jeans... but it was too cold for the cute hot pink shorts that went with the shirt:)

Baptism
The church we attend here is not the same demonination from which we came, so some things are different. Doctrine and theology are the same, as we would not stray from what we believe to be principal foundation, but some things we were "used to" are noticeably different.
One thing that stands out to us is less frequent baptism. This church doesn't baptize each week, but baptizes several like once each month. Then, once a year there is a celebration baptism where many people are baptized. This happened to be today.
Stone is now going to "big church" with us. His age class does the same lesson, craft, etc. each hour, so he is pretty bored in the second hour if he stays in "extended session." So, we've been taking him to the service with us for several months now. This morning's service was a little different as it was "Celebrate Baptism" Sunday as well as the church's 50th anniversary celebration.
Fastforward to tonight around 8:30pm. This is what I hear from the bathtub:
Stone: "Stahley, what do you believe about Jesus?"
Stone (in a whisper): "Stahley, say, 'I believe Jesus is the Son of God.'"
Stahley: "Jesus is Son of God."
Stone (in a whisper): "... and He died for our sins."
Stahley: "huh?"
Stone: "nevermind, just hold your nose."
Water is splashed a lot. Stahley begins coughing... then laughter erupts from both of them.
Stahley: "your turn!"
Stone: "Oh, I'm way too heavy for you, Stahley!"
