Picture of Rob's coming of age ceremony

A friend at church sent us this picture of us with Robbie right before we gave him the candle to light on the altar. Doesn't he look so grown up and handsome? When did he take a step toward becoming a young man? Why do all my children "do" my hair for me when we are sitting anywhere in public so that I look like I style myself in a wind tunnel? Hmmm, burning questions!

That's a great picture! We got to go to our local Mennonite church's coming-of-age ceremony when we were church-shopping last year and I think it's part of what sold me on the place (though we haven't gone back as a couple) because I was impressed with how poised and supported these children seemed. Robbie's program seems to yield similar results.
