Summer's Baptism!

Sunday, September 22

Today is the first official day of autumn!  I'm sure it is no surprise that autumn is my absolute favorite season.  So I am SO glad it is here!

When I checked on my girls to make sure they were up for church, I excitedly told them - It is 68 degrees!  Ha!  I know, big whoop.  But it is the first time since last spring it has been under 70 degrees!  

Before church, I made a pot of bean soup using a little variation of the normal recipe.  It just felt so good cooking and in the fall mood.  I finished it and put it in the crockpot to keep warm through church.



For the Connection Group time, Summer and Eric went to the baptism class.  One of the ladies in our class came up to me and asked if I was Summer's mom.  She mentioned that she sat beside her in the choir during our revival and how sweet she was!  It is a blessing when adults come to you and mention good things about your children.  Then it was off to sing in the choir for the church service.  During the service, Eric was able to baptize Summer.  I had tears running down my face.  God is SO very good.  HIS grace is all over our family and I couldn't be more grateful!

Here is the link to watch the service and her baptism!

Westside Baptist Church - September 22, 2024

It was another good sermon from the book of Revelation.  When home, we had the creamy bean and kielbasa soup along with Summer's deluxe grilled cheese sandwiches.  MMM!

The girls and I then sat on the patio at the picnic table and worked on some school items that I wanted to finish up.  After that, the girls went to youth group and then out to eat with some friends after youth group.

I made out my menu and grocery list for this week and then did some blogging.  A good day!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
