Lupita's Baptism

Lupita is our new nanny.  She is originally from Mexico and is in our Stake.  She has been waiting to find a job where she didn't have to work Sundays and where she could be content with her home environment.  Lupita moved in with us this month and will move into the studio apartment once Jenny's semester is up.  (Jenny is a business student renting the studio on the back of the house.)  Tonight we went to Lupita's baptism.  There were two others baptized as well.  It was nice.

Happy Valentine's Day

I loved these pizzas!  I want to make this an annual tradition. : )  Oh, yah...I love my Valentine too. Thanks, Jack, for planning such a fun dinner.  Next year Carmela might enjoy some pizza too.

Carmela's Blessing

Jack gave Carmela a name and a blessing today.  It was a beautiful blessing.  We had many family members join us.  Carmela wore the same blessing dress that Aunt Eileen made for me for my blessing.  Aunt Eileen made this white afghan for Carmela. Perfect for her blessing day.

Merry Christmas!

November

 

 

It’s November and it’s still in the 90s.  Too hot for me.  I’m missing the crisp Autumn air and beautiful Fall colors of Philadelphia.  I’m officially in my third trimester now and starting to slow down.  Jack and I went in today to have our pictures taken.  We’re so looking forward to the baby coming… it’s getting hard to wait!

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!

What a fun weekend.  Jack and I made our costumes on Thursday night, so that I could wear mine to work on Friday.  I was even voted one of the best costumes in the costume contest.  If you look closely, you can see a little pink bow in the baby’s head.  Hehe.  Saturday night Jack and I went to the Trunk-or-Treat at church and had fun passing out candy and seeing everyone’s costumes.  Tonight, we had our friends, Erin and Nate and their son, Charlie, over for dinner in a pumpkin.  It was yummy and fun.  The best was the individual size tapioca pudding pumpkins.
