The biggest news this week was that Lindsay got baptized
yesterday (on her 8th birthday).
It was a really sweet meeting.
Brian’s Mom and Dad came up and each gave a talk. Kara gave the opening prayer and Matthew gave
the closing prayer. Brian did the
baptizing and confirming. Lindsay was
(and is) beautiful. I will attach
pictures.
Well, we are mostly unpacked. I think we have about 2 boxes in the basement
left and three boxes in the garage left (those boxes don’t really need to be
unpacked yet though- so basically we are done unpacking). We have piles to organize or find spots for
though, so we aren’t exactly done, but we are getting close. Hopefully next week we will be done.
We also went to Bay Beach Friday. It was a nice day, and the kids had a really
good time. It is a really inexpensive
amusement park. We only spent $20, and
had plenty of tickets. We went with another
family in the ward. The Rau family has
two boys about Matthew’s age and an older one.
I was glad we had another family
to go with because there were a couple rides I couldn’t go on that the kids
wanted to go on, but needed an adult- who isn’t pregnant.
Thursday, we went to see Seth and Lindsay’s elementary
school. It seems like a very nice
school, and I hope they will be happy there. I am a bit sad that Seth will be going to
Kindergarten all day, but oh well. We also
went to see Epic at the $2 movies. The
kids really enjoyed it. We also went
swimming two times this week. It has
been pretty cool (highs in the lower 70s) the past few weeks. It has been great for our air conditioning
bill, but not the best swimming weather.
So it was nice to have a few warm days to get out and go swimming before
the pool closed for the season. The pool
has been a lot of fun for us this summer.
I am sad it is closing already, especially because this week there are
supposed to be some pretty warm days (at least warm for Wisconsin) that would
be perfect for swimming. We will have to
see if other pools are still open, I guess.
I am finally getting to the point in my pregnancy where I am
getting worn out and tired and sore. It
is harder to sleep at night, and I have to wake up to roll over. I am also always surprised at how big my
stomach is by this point. It makes me
giggle when my kids come and tell me how big the baby is getting, or when Elise
tells me how big and fat my belly is getting.
It is funny now, but in a few more weeks when there isn’t a baby in my
belly, it just might make me cryJ. Oh well.
We are excited to welcome a new baby into our family, but we still don’t
have a name picked out. I have a
favorite and Brian does, too, I think, but we haven’t made any decisions, and
neither of us is really set on our favorite.
Lindsay and Brian
The whole family
Is this one better or worse?
We are glad Grandma and Grandpa were there.
