ANTHONY GETS BAPTIZED

 Dear Family,

Always behind with these blog posts as sop much is going on. We drove down to St. George to be with Becca and her family for Anthony's baptism.  Scott drove our van and brought Tilly and Timmy.  We were grateful that Scott drove.  When we arrived in St. George, I checked the GPS report: 310 miles, average moving speed,78.4 mph, max speed, 93.4 mph.  There is a 80 mph speed limit when you get below Nephi so he made good time.

Anthony was baptized at  a Stake baptism and it was packed.  Luckily his ward went first. Here is a shot of Paul and Anthony in their whites. I love baptisms; Paul did a nice job and Anthony was great.

There was a large group down there for this event.  Cathy and Pete brought their kids as well and we all stayed at Rebecca's.  Here is a shot of the baptismal party with Paul's parents as well.

Becca and Paul are troopers and took such good care of all of us.

We had a great get together at Becca's afterward. She made these cookies of Anthony and they were almost too pretty to eat but they were all gobbled up.

I love to watch Rebeca cook.  She loves each step and does it so carefully and thoughtfully.  She made these beautiful chicken pot pies for all and feed the entire group.  Here is Becca with the  pies.  We went to church on Sunday and then drove bak home with almost the same performance.  I found it better just to put my hat over my eyes and try to relax.  We did appreciate Scott's driving and the kids were really good.

Congratulations Anthony and welcome into the Church.

Love, Opa and Oma
