April 12 of 12...

April was a busy month as I look back.  Sometimes it amazes me how we get it all done. Miss Avery Girl was baptized.  It was a spectacular day!  The spirit was so strong.  There wasn't a dry eye in the house.  We went to lunch after her baptism and we filled the banquet room with 40 plus family members....we are so extremely blessed.  Baseball season started for Rowdy and we went to Hawaii at the end of the month.

1.  To say Avery was excited for her big day is a HUGE understatement.  2.  Dada and Evie 3. Characters 4.  The five of us  5. Over to Auntie Jac's house for an easter egg hunt after the baptism 6.
