Alanna’s New Birthday! (& Hungry Baby)

Last Sabbath, July 30th, 2006, our Alanna got rebaptized in the Jordan River (in Petoskey, MI).  It was preceded by a beautiful testimony time where Alanna shared her story, and family and friends shared tributes/exhortations.  What a story of conversion and recommitment!  I’m sure all who were there were touched and inspired…


We love you and are praying for you, Alanna!


Grandpa Pipim and the baby…can you see the resemblance?

A snapshot of what happens during feedings…

“I’m still hungry…”


“…I’m waiting…and nothing’s coming out of my thumb.”


“I may have to resort to eatting the scraps from my bib…Momma, will you hurry up and feed me, please?”

~After eating, nothing beats a bottle of refreshing milk.~

“That was great…I think I wanna knock out…right…here….”

  1. that was beautiful. well, the feeding too, but the baptism. conversion has turned me into such a sap. =) I get choked up when I hear testimonies that remind me of my own experience and when I witness heartfelt baptisms. as for visiting! It turns out that Imanuel’s clock needs a battery. And the thing’s screwed in with a nail. So. Well, my classes end tomorrow… and I’ll need some time to clean house and arrange things to compensate for these past few weeks when I let my house turn into a disaster area. I moved my AC into my bedroom, and even though the window thing melted AGAIN I can still bask in the coolness better. =) See you soon…

  2. cute baby. regarding qdoba … it’s not quite chipotle imho. see my reply to your comment on my page.

  3. haha… me again. and I just want to say.I LOVE you, Judy!! I’m sorry I couldn’t come this weekend. You know that nothing can keep me away. Except bible studies and Sabbath School, and I’m sure you understand this. =) Thanks for your encouragement on my posts. Those keep me going. I wish I could’ve come to help you out. Or I wish you could’ve come here but I didn’t want to suggest it since I know it’s tiring and draining, especially for not-so-ti-nee bay-bee. But I’ll see you soon… and I’ve been feeding your pets even though I’m totally not a Lakers fan. =) Happy Sabbath…

  4. Well, Praise the Lord for Alanna’s new commitment. As for your question on when I’m coming back, short answer is not until Christmas maybe…I’ll send out an e-mail update about that hopefully by the end of the next week. And a note on the baby, he’s definately grown. He’ll probably be walking by the time I see him.

  5. awwww, me so happy!!! and judy and izzy and immy, i just want to say that even the pic w/ you guys and alanna shows how it is such a blessing to know God and it really really shows how you guys are so happy. your picture alone is like a testimony of a good christian family home is the happiest and is the greatest treasure. aww shucks! we’re moving soon to MI! in fact on the 20th, we’re supposed to move to Glencoe Hills which is pretty close to you guys!!!!!!! sadly, we are not bringing jacob our puppy so whenever we miss our doggie, we’ll just come visit your zoo at your house, hahaha. and if you ever need a petsitter for chance and aroe at our apt, we can do it! i think bentley will be too hyper for me to handle, kekeke. no offense izzy, but i think you are the only one who can really control that happy doggie.
