Joel turned 8 on May 31 and was excited to be baptized. We had a fun weekend and I survived it without any breakdowns, which is huge for me. I get anxiety having people in my home, for some reason, and feeding 20 people is also difficult for me. It all went smoothly and I had lots of women help. I'm pretty sure it's a blessing that I don't have to host family events very often. It sure was nice to see everyone and share in this special day with Joel! It's so fun to watch him grow up and develop. Being a parent is hard but there are many neat glimpses of these little children of God that will become adults one day.

He excited for his new bike. I love that face.
The kids had so much fun with Kali, and then with Torri, Tess and Derek( no picture of them).
Joel loves soccer and he has really improved since the beginning of the season. It's fun to watch him. I love soccer and played it lots as a kid. He's a natural athlete but he really loves to play and wants to practice because it's fun and so he can get better. I love sports that keep him running. He has a lot of energy.
