Ethan’s Baptism

Just wanted to let everyone know that Ethan will be baptized on July 12th. If anyone would like a mini vacation just let me know. HA-HA. Anyway, we just wanted to get the word out for now and this seems like the easiest way to do that. We are going to invite everyone personally I have just been a little slow at getting it out.

Another One

Ok, having way to much fun with this so here's another one for ya!

Digital Scrapbooking

Ok, so when we moved the moving company was kind enough to lose several boxes for me. One or two of which was filled with my very large collection of scrapbooking materials. I swore they must be somewhere in this house but have now come to the defeated conclusion that they are not. I even unloaded the entire closet of holiday boxes just in case but all that brought me was the opportunity to put it all back again. Anyway...since I have become so digitally minded lately and since I now need to replace all of my stuff I decided to give digital scrapbooking a whirl. I'm not sure how it is going to turn out I am going to send it to a printer and see since I can't print my own 12x12's. Here is a sample for ya though!

"Official Residents"

We are now official residents of the state of Arizona. Our new driver’s licenses and license plates on the cars say so! I was a little unsure about moving to AZ, my mind full of images of cactus, rocks, blowing dirt and those Snoopy cartoons with his cousin Spike; but after 6 years of moving I was more than ready to give anywhere a try. We have now been here almost four months and are finding that we really do love it. I love the still quiet mornings and the cool evenings; I love that there is no need for snow shovels, boots and parkas; I love not having to watch the weather forecast every night since the weather is always clear, sunny and hot. I love the little lizards that love to bask on the back fence and the hummingbirds that come to feed, and yes I even love the majesty of the cactus and the rock landscaping (easy to maintain). Our backyard is unfinished so I can’t really say I “love” the swirling dirt but I am adjusting!
