We've had a busy and fun couple of weeks with baptism (Andrew's), graduations (Lisarae, Keturah, (both high school) Shenara (Central Washington) and Marissa (kindergarten); school plays (Andrew and Samantha); a project Mars presentation (Angie), birthdays (Dylan, Izzy, and TJ which we celebrate tomorrow) and a little trip.
We somehow neglected--all of us--to take pictures of Andrew's baptism, but it was a beautiful event. A boy from the Spanish branch also was baptised that night so everything was said in Spanish as well. President Cortez gave a beautiful talk in Spanish addressing both boys and telling them how much he loved them and how proud he was of them and to listen to their parents and choose the right. The other events I'll blog about when Jaime and Julirae have a chance to send me pictures.
Our trip was an overnight visit to White Salmon. It is such a pretty place. Tom & Julia's remodeling is wonderful and their yard is especially beautiful. All of the rain has brought out the rhododendrons which were blooming profusely. We went on a little trip to the small community of O'Dell on the old-fashioned Mt. Hood Railroad. Unfortunately, the day was overcast so we never did see the mountain. The last picture is of the switchback where the train made its final climb up the mountain. When I saw the switchman standing outside of the train, I realized what my dad had done in his job for so many years.
