Dear Family,We are currently having a lot of baptisms with the grand children and it was Olivia's turn last week. Here is a picture of Opa and Oma, Paul, Cheryl and little Olivia.
Can't believe she is eight already. When I was assigned to the Student Wards in Church, my assignment was the ward that Paul was the Bishop and we used to sit in the front and i could always watch Cheryl with her eight kids down in the first row. One time Olivia, then about three, coes arching up to the front, stood in front of me and said, "I be good in Church". She has been a doll all the time.
They had a Ward baptism in the Holladay ward on a Sunday. There were about five other kids and their families but each event was limited to the family and friends of the person being baptized. Paul's family with his Mom and Dad and many of his siblings with their children were there. Then there was our group with Paul H and kids, Emily and John and their kids. Rayanne and kids came up and there was Doug and his family. When they accounced it was Olivia's turn, most of the chapel got up and went to the baptistry.
Paul did the baptism, his Dad the confirmation and Mom and I said a few words. I commented that Olivia had over 120 first cousins and many were there. It was a sweet event and after we all went over to Cheryl and Paul where Chryl put on a good spread, It was a great get together.
Well I think that Spring has finally arrived. It stopped snowing last week. The very heavy snow in the mountains is beginning to melt and [people are afraid of flooding.
This is a view from our doorstep looking west. We are starting to plant things; we planted three grape vines where we had a bush and put up the support for the for when they grow.
Here is a view to the east fro our doorstep looking into the Wasatch range just up the street. It will be nice and green for a while. I can look up there in the evening and watch the deer feed. Some reflexes do not die. It is a gorgeous time of the year.We go back to Michigan for a week for David's and Niko's baptism. So great!
We love you all...Mom and Dad
