Dear Savannah, Today you are 6 months old. I can’t believe it’s already been half a year since you were born. Time passes so fast! We added three more states to your map this month: Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina. You also saw your first (significant) snowfall. You weren’t sure about that cold white stuff!

So today, I offered to go pick Paul up from work (something I enjoy doing but have been trying not to…
I meant to write this post before we left for New England, but it didn’t happen. I am back in Atlanta now and trying to get caught up! Paul and I attend and are members of a Presbyterian church (PCA) here in Atlanta. In our denomination, we baptize our infants. I was going to do a post on infant baptism, but I didn’t want to start a debate on the subject here on my blog. So I’ll link to this…
