8 is Great!

My camera turned up! Someone from the theater called last week and had found it so I am happy now. Here's our Bug with her fancy chicken fingers and french fries meal.
Here is the birthday girl outside the theater.
And here is the dear Lady and her sweet Daddy yesterday at her baptism. The woman that gave a talk on baptism compared a testimony to a tree, that whether it is a sapling or a redwood, it is still a tree, and a testimony can be small or big, it is still a testimony. So I asked Leah what kind of tree she is and she said, "a sapling" and I asked her if she believed Joseph Smith was a prophet? "Yes", does she believe the Book of Mormon? "Yes", does she believe Jesus lived and was resurrected for us? "Yes". So we decided her tree is rather larger than a sapling, maybe even a regular sized tree. I sure like this part of being a Mom.

She got her very own set of scriptures with her name on them and she had them out ready to go to church with her this morning before she was even dressed. She is so excited about Activity Days and gets to go to her first meeting on Tuesday! It is such an exciting time for our little Lady Bug!

Your Leah is such a pretty girl. Of all your kids, I think she takes after you the most.
