I know I haven't posted for a long time here. I am trying to post more. I am not going to go back and talk about the Summer as that is one of the reasons while I haven't written so much. It is sometimes overwhelming with what to add.
However, I wanted to post some pictures of Sarah's Baptism. She was baptized the week after her 8th birthday. Both of the grandparents were able to travel and come be part of the Baptism. Sarah asked her Grandpa Butch to baptize her. It was a great program and we are glad she choose to get baptized. Here is a picture of Sarah and Grandpa Butch on her Baptism day.
We had a good Christmas. Our kids were excited and we had lots of fun together as a family. We kept a lot of traditions that we have done in the past, like breakfast first and taking turns opening presents. We still need to figure out the right way to make it work with our new house. We had the tree in our family room downstairs and that is where Santa came, but Gus and the other kids tend to come down in the morning to our bedroom and have to walk right through the family room. Gus ended up walking through. Luckily he was tired, so he didn't grasp fully what he was seeing around the tree.
I am adding some pictures of the day and a video or two.
