3 Months old!

Happy 3 month birthday Liliana!

Baptism Day

Jonah's baptism was on Saturday. It was great. My parents came from the Bay Area, my sister Jana & nephew came from Utah, Deon's mother came from Dallas, and His father from L.A.
Unfortunately Jonah had 103* fever the day before, so he was a little under the weather, but he was very happy. Jonah was the only one being baptized that day, so we had the program all to our selves.
Deon's mother was the chorister and did a wonderful job. She has a gift to be able get so few people to sing so boisterously and sound like a large congregation. Several people there expressed their desire for her to be our regular chorister! The kids loved having Deborah stay a few days and getting to know her better, and we all loved the fried chicken she cooked last night.

birthdays!

Jonah and Naomi had a combined birthday party on Saturday. Jonah is 8! and Naomi is 6!
It was the easiest party I've ever thrown. The kids just swam the whole time, came out for some hot dogs (that Deon cooked) and cake and ice cream. Swam some more, opened gifts and left. The only thing I had to clean up was wrapping paper. That pool just payed for itself!
It was great to have Royce and Monique Rice stop by (who are celebrating their 2nd anniversary tomorrow) and to see Rudy and Melissa Rodriguez with their adorable daughter Natalia. Thanks to all who came. Our family had a blast.
Jonah was the Broom Bearer and Naomi was the flower girl at Royce & Monique's wedding.
