We have been staying at the Wesleyan Campground in Fairmount since it is church camp this week, and this is the view every night behind our camper...we like to pretend those red streaks are mountains rather than the sunset :) OK, so even though we have no mountains even remotely close to us, the sunset is really pretty!
The playground is very close to our camper and Titus loves it!!
Hanging out Saturday night...chatting and playing "Washers"
Damaris' dedication went well...we had to kind of laugh because it was pretty awkward for Stephen to do it for his own child :) At least he won't have to worry about it again :) :)
Potluck after church...
My mom and dad *** My grandma and sister
Stephen and his mom *** His dad and his previous boss & friend from Michigan
My uncle Ron and aunt Carol *** My aunt Pauline and uncle Dave
My grandpa *** Damaris
Unfortunately both of Stephen's grandma's were not doing well and couldn't come, as well as two of his aunts and uncles. My sister's family was sick and couldn't come either. So we didn't end up with as many people as we thought, but we appreciated everyone who could make it, and understood why the others couldn't!! I somehow missed getting pictures of Stephen's cousins and my brother and sister-in-law...sorry guys!
4 generation pictures (I still can't believe my grandparents are in their 90's!!!! I hope I have some of their genes!!)
Stephen's family (we missed you Valerie!) *** Walt & Charlotte
It wasn't really possible to get pictures during the ordination service, but it went really well and was a great service! There were 7 people that were ordained yesterday, most of them we knew which was kind of fun.
Last night at camp right after the speaker gets up to start the message, he is interrupted by a man that tells the crowd there is an emergency in the nursery and the parents of Damaris need to go get her...yikes! Stephen gets up to get her and when he doesn't return in a little while, I start to get a little worried! It ends up that her reflux was pretty bad. I completely forgot to warn them that she had it!! We are so used to her spitting up all day that I guess I don't really think about it much. Well the workers were getting really panicked, which made her upset and crying like crazy (plus she obviously had a really long day!). Stephen said as soon as he held her she quit. She just needed a little calm and comfort from her daddy! Of course it is really funny because both the doctor that delivered her and her pediatrician are at camp too, so they asked about her when we got out of service :) I am glad that nothing was seriously wrong, and like Stephen said, he would rather the workers be overly concerned than let something major go unnoticed!!

It was great to bump into you all live and in person yesterday. Have a great time at camp this week!
Congratulations! It looks like you guys had a great weekend. I loved all the photos, and I can't get over how big Damaris is getting.
Very cute pictures! Adam had to dedicate Aiden too so it was kind of weird for us too. The life of being a preacher's family:) Thanks for the updates!
Why didn't Stephen have Darwin do the dedication?
Great photos, Michelle! The story about Damaris made me smile - too funny (though probably not for the workers). :)
It was really nice to be able to be a part of everything Sunday. It was good to see you all again :)
