Ethan's Baptism

Last weekend was an important one for our family. Ethan was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Saturday, October 11th. He was so excited and could hardly wait. The baptism was amazing! There were four kids from our Ward baptized that day. The room was completely packed, standing-room only. The Spirit was very strong in the room. I was asked to sing a song, which was very difficult considering I was on the verge of tears, but I muddled through it. Eric both baptized and confirmed him, with my dad stepping in to assist. It was a really wonderful meeting. I hope Ethan will always remember this special day!

Vacationing on Vashon

Last weekend my dad came to visit and we went on a little day trip to Vashon Island. We saw the famous bike in the tree, a sight my dad has wanted to see for a long time. We also found a great beach that had a gorgeous view of Mt. Rainier. The weather was so perfect, with a reminder of what the sunshine looks like! On our way home we stopped in Seattle in the U-District and had an authentic Carribean/Trinidad themed dinner. Then we watched the sun set at Gas Works park. It was a great day, and a nice way to end the summer.
