Happy Family

Abbey will be baptized on Saturday.  We headed down to the bookstore for her very special gift...a beautiful set of scriptures.  She was pretty excited.  Landen got a Moroni action figure.  He was pretty excited too.  Boys are a bit easier in this department.  I'm grateful to have at least one that is completely thrilled with a $5 action figure.  Anytime.  Anywhere.  Easy.

We did a quick drive-by the San Diego Temple for a few photos.  Seeing Abbey in front of the temple was a special site.  She will put on her second white dress in a few days.  It seems like just days ago that she wore her first white dress when she was blessed as a baby.  The time has gone so fast.  Seeing the temple and imagining her in another special white dress seems like it should be a lifetime away, but I know that time will speed along just as fast.

For now, we are going to keep her.  We are going to celebrate her baptism, and her good choice, and her great example to the littler ones here.

It all started 8 years ago.  There was just one.

And then there were 2.

And then, there were 3 (though it can feel like 10).

and we are a happy family.  an eternal, happy family.
