We welcomed cousins from Tuscaloosa and Starkville this weekend for Reed's baptism. It was a gorgeous weekend. It was such a privilege to have the Godparents stay with us for the visit. As I've had a few moments to think about this weekend this afternoon, I've realized that they are two very special people that have agreed to help raise Reed in a christian environment, to help us teach her about God and values, to live an exemplar life, and to share in the responsibility of bringing up a child in the name of God. I've also realized how lucky we are to have others, for both Reed and Hannah Kate, to share in this responsibility of encouraging day to day holiness in their lives. It's nice to think that as we as parents stumble and fall along the parenting highway, we have a supportive net of loving family to take up the slack in teaching the Christian way. This attribute of Godparenting is really encouraging! Thanks Audrey and Lee!
