Three fun things

1.  Last week I got to attend my Niece's baptism. 

 The baptism was performed at an old and very cool LDS church in Seattle.

It had an outdoor courtyard for receptions I assume.  I noticed that there were sliding doors in the relief society room that could open out to it.

 The foyer was very large.  No fighting over which family gets to sit on a couch here.  There were four couches.

 Megan with her cousin.  I'm so glad these too are good friends.

2.  Over the weekend we went on the Twin Falls hike in Northbend.  We loved playing on the rocks along the river and skipping stones (or at least trying to).

 We didn't hike all the way to the Twin falls but we found a short nearby trail and walked to Weeks falls.

3.   School started!!!  Holly with her friends at high school.  I guess striped shirts are in this year.

 Emily on the first day.

 Melissa with her friend at the busstop.

Megan and her friend at the busstop.

 Nathan at his farm preschool.  The bunnies are stinky.

 Today I am thankful for:

*A really nice neighbor who went on a walk with me.

*a clean house.  With four of my kids at school I had the energy to do some deep cleaning.  I'm enjoying the clean house before they all get home and it becomes messy again.

*these two daughters.  They love me and don't mind if I take their picture or come to the busstop with them.  The older girls have entered the "mom you are embarrassing me" stage.  Both Megan and Melissa are without front teeth right now.  So cute!
