We joined East Brent a few weeks ago.  I moved my letter from Hillcrest, and Jeremy moved his letter from McFarlin Methodist.  EB requires that church members profess the faith and be baptized by immersion.  Jeremy visited with Wade about it, and he felt very good about the “meaning” of his public demonstration of faith through immersive baptism.

We wanted Grammy to be able to make it, so we waited until she had enough mobility after her knee replacement to attend the service comfortably.  And she did some sneaky work behind the scenes to invite all of the Jones sibling families to be there in support of our little family unit and Jeremy’s public step to join this church family.

Precious Satie Isabella wanted to wear her most beautiful dress for the occasion.  It was pink with lots of pearls around the neckline.  And her shoes were fabulous.  Sebastian looks thrilled, doesn’t he?

Jeremy joked with Wade that the two of them were going to test the limits of the “bathtub” — two big guys making waves.  Wade didn’t realize how accurate that premonition was until they both climbed in.

After church, we all went to Dickie’s for BBQ.  Selah June was very happy to get to sit next to Satie.

You can kind of see Satie’s dress.  I wish I had a better picture.

She’s getting to be such a big girl.
