Mac's Baptism

On December 18th Mac was baptized. This is a very important step in our church. We believe it is necessary in order to return to live with our Father in Heaven. We believe that 8 years old is when we can be held accountable for knowing right from wrong.

This little girl has been a joy to our family. She is so sweet and helpful. She is smart and tender, loving and kind. She is easy-going yet stubborn. She is - in a word - Perfect. She really tries hard to do what is right and we are so proud of her in deciding to take this important step.

You got to love the leisure suit Kevin picked out. He says it was the only one that fit but I secretly think Kevin misses the 70's.

We had a fun filled weekend with lots of family, food and fun. We appreciate all those who made

efforts to attend. We are grateful for the many who offered their support and love on this special day.

Congratulations Mac!!!!

Haylee's Birthday!

My baby is three! Hard to believe it! Haylee had a fun day. Logan, Sissy and I all celebrated our birthdays recently and so she was delighted that it was finally her turn to open presents. We got hamburgers and had chocolate cake. This little girl is truly a miracle and we all feel so blessed that she is a member of our family! We love you Mei!

Thanksgiving!

We had an awesome Thanksgiving this year up in Seattle. Kevin's sister, Lori, was an unbelievable host yet again. The food was fantastic, the company outstanding, combining to make a very happy four days. Here we are at the Bellevue botanical gardens. It was truly a winterwonderland of lights.

Looking at the interesting food at the largest Korean market I've ever been to in the USA -

H-Mart.

We ate lots of delicious food...

Miss Mac's B-day

My little girl is now 8 years old! I can't believe it! We had a real low-key birthday because of the holiday but we had a good time going to the arcade and out to dinner - Chinese of course. She got new roller blades but such is the weather that she hasn't really had the opportunity to use them much but I know that she'll master them once nice weather comes again. When this girl puts her mind to something - she is going to make it happen! She will be getting baptized in December! We are all looking forward to the special occassion.

Miss Mac picked Pumpkin Pie for her birthday cake! She is the only one in the family who likes it so she basically got the whole pie to herself - smart girl!
