Alison and Peter news

It's been a couple of busy weeks for us. We all managed to be feeling well enough to pull off Alison's baptism. Alison was so happy. She loved being in water, if only briefly and I loved being able to watch from the font steps and now worry about Michael because Jacob was taking care of him for me. What would I do without my big boys?! When Alison came out of the water, I helped her change her clothes. She was so happy and I was, too. It was the first time I was able to help my newly baptized child change clothes - Garr got to help the boys, of course! It was beautiful and we had over 40 family members join us and there were 12 men in the circle for her confirmation. Wow. Afterwards we had our entire group over for something to eat and it was great to visit. Garr and I are so grateful for our families.

In other news, Peter and his friend have been busily working on their project for the science fair. They timed marbles going along the track you see pictured. They used different sized marbles, but also wanted to know if cold or hot marbles would travel faster. They had a great time and they won a trophy and are going on to the district competition! Very cool.

I'm still working on changing the name for my blog and getting my header to look nice. As of sometime in June, I won't be able to call it Three sons and a daughter anymore because I'll have two girls!! So bear with me for awhile and I hope to be having it look better soon.
