Changes In Our Home

Hi all,

Here's Jesse's baptism picture (thank you to Mom and Dad for remembering your camera when I didn't hear Brent telling me to grab ours.):



It was a beautiful day, both because of the event and because of the weather. After several months of below normal temps and snow the week before, we had 80 degrees on one of the best days ever. She was so beautiful in her dress. We're getting her pictures done this weekend and I'll post it as soon as we can so you can see her dress too.

Britt and Morgan are doing well too. Right now they're going through WASL testing (Washington state's standardized review tests). This is Britt's first year and she seems to be doing well. Our concern was whether she would take her time and complete each question as needed. But she is doing well and only has three more days. Morgan is also doing well and is taking this year very seriously. He will be going to 6th grade camping in less than 2 weeks. He is so excited! It should be very interesting to see how he does because he will be gone for 4 days and I don't think he will be able to call home to say goodnight like when he's with his scout leaders when they go on overnighters. He is very senstive in this respect and is very mindful on how things are going at home when he is not here. Last night, on the way home from Mutual, his scout leader took his kids, his niece, and nephews and Morgan to McDonalds for Mcflurries. Morgan was so mindful that I would be waiting at home for him that he had Bro. Ayala call home to let me know that they would be a little late. He has given us quite moments of surprise when he has shown us how he truly can be responsibility. I have been so blessed with great kids not to mention a good husband from a great family!

I love you all and hope all is well with you.

Keep the faith and endure to the end!
