Unfortunately it was the same week as Prom and Senior Banquet for many of our students. Regardless it was a great time! You can see more pictures and read about the night <a href="http://thegraze.org/2008/04/21/progressive-dinner-recap/">here</a>.<br /><br />While we were doing this our friend George was having a rough day that would only get worse as he sat with us in Kansas City while his wife gave birth to their first child in Dallas. Classic story, though he doesn't appreciate the "classic" part of it yet. Their is reason to praise to God though as their baby boy, Reese Owen Deines was born healthy apart from the abandonment issues he has as a result of his dad missing the first big event in his life. Nothing showing up to a Christmas pageant won't fix. After all, it is not like he skipped his son's big event to play in a pub league division "D" soccer game.Houghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09258898875005626460noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32025970.post-42309385285127953552008-04-09T13:26:00.000-07:002008-04-09T14:03:13.954-07:00Beckham's Bunny "Nummies"Beckham saw a rabbit in our yard the other day and everyday since has asked to "see bunny."

She weighed 7 lbs 9 oz (6 oz more than Beckham) and is 18 inches long. Chubby, I'll deny I ever said that when she is a teenager.

He was also installed as Assistant Pastor in the church. Pastor Tony Felich (Senior Pastor of Redeemer) did a great write up afterwards explaining what an Elder is, <a href="http://reepicheep-ajf.blogspot.com/2008/01/governed-by-elders.html">you can read it here</a>. This was such an exciting event and it was a great pleasure to have Brian's Dad Hank and Jayne as well as the Jones (Sally, Roger and Sarah) come out to celebrate this event with us. I am thankful to all those at Redeemer for coming out for the night. Big thank you to Jay Bennett and his family for driving up so Jay could preach the sermon. I'm trying to get an audio or video version to put up here. Anyway enjoy the photos!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/futuregrace/BrianSOrdination">See all the photos here!</a><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.google.com/futuregrace/R4kM9l-D87I/AAAAAAAAAX8/2glPNnsoo68/ordination%20022.jpg?imgmax=512"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://lh3.google.com/futuregrace/R4kM9l-D87I/AAAAAAAAAX8/2glPNnsoo68/ordination%20022.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span></div>Houghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09258898875005626460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32025970.post-42436678134282734102008-01-04T16:42:00.001-08:002008-01-04T20:54:02.342-08:00Video of Beckham's 2nd Birthday Party<div style="text-align: center;">Here is some video of Beckham's 2nd Birthday party.
