Baptism

I can't believe I forgot this! My daughter, Arianna, was baptized in front of the whole congregation at Stafford Baptist Church on Sunday, April 1st. We are so excited. We all feel she knew exactly what she was doing and told me that she told lots of kids at recess in school yesterday. So our whole household has been baptized now giving new meaning to the scripture, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". I pray that the kids always stay close to and serve the Lord their whole lives.

New things in April

This is going to be quite a month!
First of all, We are going to Iceland on our first mission trip as a family from April 5-15th. We are leaving in 3 days! Just now got the suitcases out. We will go from 70-80 degrees back down to 40-50's. Oh well-extended winter.

Then my son David is starting track-every day until 5pm then soccer, homework, practicing of saxaphone, etc.

I finally managed to get registered, am accepted, and have paid for my first 2 classes toward my master's degree which I start on April 30th. They did cheapen my price per credit significantly b/c of Dave's past hx in the military. What a praise that is.

Only 10 weeks of school left and then 3 kids graduate-Arianna from kindergarten, Elizabeth from 5th grade to middle school, David from 8th grade to High school. Should be fun.

I am back to eating good food, with limits. The 2 weeks of just meat,nuts, cheese and vegies was too difficult for me. Felt tired and weak. Backslid over the weekend but am back on track today.

We did go to an awesome restaurant in Richmond on Saturday (explaining some of the backsliding) and to a very modern ballet which was to say the least interesting. It was nice to be out so long without kids with Dave.
