We've had quite a month! Joshua was baptized on the 23rd of August. We had a house full of people and so much fun! And for those of you who know Josh, it was about the most amusing baptism ever. We tried to have people give talks but Josh had other ideas -- they were more like conversations. It was great! I know Lori and Jeny already posted some pictures but here are some of the same, and a few of my own.

We didn't sleep much the whole weekend, I guess Mark was pretty tired!

The day after the baptism was the first day of school. Josh was excited to go but doesn't look so happy in this picture-not sure why. Emma is LOVING school! She has lots of new friends and loves to get prizes for doing her work so well.

Alex is a preteen in middle school. Need I say more?

Later that same day......

Mom has been pretty sore since then from a seatbelt injury and Dad got a big bruise on his chest. He says he took a picture but it's a "just in case" picture and he refuses to let us post it - says it's X-rated. Maybe we can convince Mom to put it up one of these days. From what I have heard they are both doing better every day. We got a new van yesterday, a Toyota. It's nice but I will miss the DVD player, a lot!
