Joe's Special Day

Joseph was baptized on May 31. We were blessed to have so many people who we love come and support him.

He was baptized on the same day as his cousin, Ellie.

It was a special day we had been looking forward to for a long time.

Joseph is grateful that his dad was able to baptize and confirm him.

He felt "minty fresh" after his baptism.

Isaac and Joe have led the way, and Alyssa and Lincoln will follow in a few years.

We were very proud of Joseph and his decision to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was a wonderful day for all of us.

Aiden is here!

We have another baby in the family! Little Aiden Matthew has arrived. We never would have guessed that my sister-in-law, Sarah, his little tiny mama, could manage to have a 8 lb. 9 oz., 20 1/2 baby! We get to meet him tomorrow, and we are all excited. He looks nice and cuddly. Next to arrive: Baby Boy # 5 for my brother, Jared. and my sis-in-law, Trina. He'll be making his appearance sometime next month, my parents' 25 grandchild.
