This journal is written for the benefit of my family, wherever they are. I hope it to be a way of sharing how I feel and what I think about them and about the experiences of this life. I hope that it will be a source of strength and comfort to them, one that is available anytime they choose. As it becomes linked to their blogs, I hope that it has the effect of "turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers."

This is truly a step "closer to home"
It was a blessing to have all of the family together today to celebrate William's baptism together. He did a great job as the bishop peppered him with questions. You could tell he was really well prepared to make the covenant of baptism with the Savior.
This is a great picture of their family after the baptism.
You should never waste an opportunity to get a picture when the whole family is together, dressed up, and happy. The kids did great. The girls all sat on the front row and watched quietly except for quiet whispering between them. I say the whole family, but we missed Marissa, even though we felt her there in spirit.
And after wards, we topped it off with ice cream (David and Kristen's treat) at Cold Stone Creamery. All in all, a wonderful day.
