"I can't wait until I'm eight... for then I'll be baptized, you see!" Alex's baptism was wonderful. He grinned the whole time in the font. It was so great so see him so happy. Both of his grandparents were able to make it, Since his baptism he's been trying to hard to CTR. He has even been reading his scriptures every night before bed wether or not we remember to remind him. I suggested in the beginning that he read at least 1 verse a day to get the habit formed. He decided to try to read a page a day and has stuck to it for a week now! What a man! I can't tell you what a wonderful thing it is to have a son that is growing into a true elder of Zion. What a feeling!
We've been taking daily walks after picking Lili up from the bus. David's newest thing is to pick "wishing wells" which are dandy lion seed wands and making wishes. He often offers them to me to make my own wishes too. Lili has been learning to climb the trees around the neighborhood with a vigor. She and her friend "trevor jones" ( I haven't figured out why she says his whole name each time, but it's cute), love to climb together. David has been afraid up until today. He climbed his first tree and even tried his best to smile about it!
