brooks baptism day (november 2014)

Along with a fun birthday party, we also got to celebrate this new 8-year-old's special baptism day. We're so happy for his desire to make good choices and live a life of faith.

Here he is all ready for his big moment:).

Mom and Dad are all ready too!

Brooks was so lucky to have lots of grandparents in town for his special day.

Grandma Loo ...

Grandma Dueck ...

Grandpa & Grandma Jacobs ...

And after the baptism, Brooks had a cool prize waiting for him at home.

His very own set of scriptures, and a cool new soccer scripture case.

Very cool, Brooks! You're going to be all grown up before you (or we) know it:). Can't wait to see where life takes you!!

Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
