Tara turned 8 on Friday. Jacob and I surprised her at school with her lunch box...we told her she forgot it at home, and she was disappointed because she wanted to buy lunch on her birthday, but then she smelled it, and it was McDonalds happy meal. She was not disappointed. Then Gene surprised her by picking her up early from school and took her to see the new Veggie Tales movie, The pirates who don't do anything...we went too.
Then Bob and Cheryl Borden (and family)came up from North Carolina to be here for her baptism...so, they and the Bordens senior came for a bit of birthday cake and present time.
Saturday Tara was baptized. Thanks for everyone who came and participated. It was a great day. Thanks Kris for letting us use your outfit, thanks for the phone calls and cards and gifts. You all have been a great support and Tara was smiling all day. She really felt loved. She is excited to start activity days this Weds.
We went to Steak and Shake for dinner last night and it was a chilly 29. I don't know how the rest of you deal with cold.
We taught the kids how to play "spoons". Jacob is a real gamer...he loves playing games...we are working on letting others win and being happy about it.
I have been released as 1st counselor in the primary and called as 1st couns. in the primary. So, my job hasn't changed but, everyone else around me has.
Everyone is healthy and happy. Gene had a speaking assignment in Crossville today, 1 hour away. So, we are spending the day recovering from a busy weekend.
Keep warm, everyone!
