Amy's Baptism

There are a lot of things that you do for the last time as your youngest child grows up. I bought our last package of diapers when Amy was finally potty trained, went to our last playgroup when Amy started kindergarden, and I recently planned our last baptism.

The program was simple. Adam said a prayer, Elli gave a short talk and played the piano, and Kathy gave a talk. We had lots of friends come to support Amy, which was so nice of them to get all dressed up on a Saturday and travel to the church an extra time that week! It meant a lot to us.

Kathy flew out all the way from Montana to be here, like she had with Adam and Elli. We got to spend 2 whole days with her until she had to go back to her busy schedule.

Here's Riley with Amy after everything was over. It was a such nice day. We are very proud of Amy for choosing to be baptized!

Bear Creek Hike

After the baptism, we headed out to enjoy the beautiful day. We are lucky to have a fun trail so close to our house. Riley comes up here often to run with Sandy or steal some boulders for our fire pit.

Sandy is getting better and better at listening and coming when we call, so she gets more time off the leash to run free. But, we have to let her know we have treats so she will be sure to obey.

I love catching Adam when he doesn't know I'm taking a picture. He is a cute boy when he is not ducking.
