Dear Dad,

I'm so glad that you are baptizing me and that I will get all my sins out and that I will get the Holy Ghost in and that on Saturday we can have a good time when I get sucked down in the water and that you can say the prayer and that when you duck me under, you will not "dround" me like Johnny told me that you will. When he said that I got scared.

Love, Matt

Six Months. (and it's gone by so fast!) We love you, Greggy. And we miss you, but there's no place we'd rather you be.

Happy 8th Birthday, Matty!!!
You are tough as nails and yet sweet, affectionate,
and sensitive, too. You give the best hugs
and offer the best prayers!
You are so excited to be getting baptized!
We love you so much. Happy Birthday, buddy.
Love, Mom

Lip Synching

Scott and I went waaaay out of our comfort zones and lip synced at our ward party Saturday night. He did "YMCA" from Village People. And I did "I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair" from South Pacific. Scott kept threatening to be coming down with the flu, but he came through. While it's something neither of us would EVER volunteer to do, I'm glad that we both ventured out a little bit. Watching everyone else was so funny and so entertaining. I love my ward!

Twenty-two years ago today...

Scott and I experienced our first miracle. When that baby entered the world, time stood still. I simply could not believe that you could love someone so much. I was scared to bring him home. I remember coming into our apartment, placing him in his bassinet, and thinking "o.k., now what?" And that has pretty much been our mantra ever since..."NOW WHAT?" :) There is always a special place in your heart for your first born. Happy birthday, Mikey. We love you. Hurry home safely. (Five more weeks!!!) We miss you. XO Mom

We are counting down...
Nine weeks until Mikey is safely home
from his deployment to Afghanistan.
Please keep him and his fellow marines in
your prayers. :)
