We found our camera that has Belle's baptism pictures in it. Yea! However, those pictures are not on this computer, they are on my other computer and so I will post them later. We found the camera on Belle's top bunk. Weird. We just cannot figure out how it got there. Maybe I set it there when I tucked her into bed? Mystery is over, if not solved. Here is a picture of Belle to enjoy until I get the baptism pix posted.
We are busy preparing for the coming Christmas holiday, as we are hosting Audrey's family this year. Ned and Ashley's family is traveling the farthest, I think -- all the way from rural Idaho. Burke and Sarah are journeying from California. Walker and Jenn, Lani and Mauricio, Lyndsey and Doug, and RuthAnn are making a very easy and uncomplicated downhill journey from the North to the South of the East Coast.
Courtney and Belle, Audrey and I have been dusting, painting, vacuuming, repairing, moving boxes to storage, shopping, planting, retrieving boxes from storage, decorating, gift wrapping, playing soccer (Belle -- her team won tonight), working and doing Young Women activities (Courtney's tutoring job relocated, and she had a Young Women in Excellence recognition progam tonight that was tastefully done, I'm told -- Aud went to that event while I was with Belle at soccer).
And oh yes, yesterday was Audrey and my 24th wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that she has stayed with me these 24 years, but I am sure glad she did. As for me -- I can look back at more bad decisions in my life than I care to remember, but I really chose well when I married Audrey. Thanks for the time together, wife.
