Carousel

You would think this bed-rest nonsense would give me more time to blog. But, as it turns out, to blog about stuff you do, you have to DO stuff.

The couple of weekends before I got put on house arrest, we did cruise the SL area with the girls.

Here is my pretty Elsa about to ride a carousel. I believe in this one she is asking when it's going to start.
Although apprehensive at first, when the music started and the horse started to move up and the whole thing began to spin, Adele started to scream with delight. She has a delight scream. It's very much a scream.

Elsa's Baptism

Elsa was baptized Saturday. I am very proud of the thoughtful things she has said and asked since then. She has been interested in learning about the church and she loves to hear stories about church history. She's also taking becoming a member very seriously and seemed more tuned in today than normal (not perfectly of course, she is still eight after all). But today she was very interested in what people said, did, what they meant and how it was different for her now that she is a member too. I love how this little kid's mind and heart work.

This is Elsa with "Poppa"(Ryan's dad) who baptized her.

I didn't get any post-font pictures of her. But this is Elsa before church today in her confirmation dress.

Oh yes... a total angel.

I posted a barrage of pictures of the girls before church today on their blog here and here.
