Just had some pictures done and decided to put them on the blog. Overall, it went well. As usual, we were able to get plenty of smiles out of our littlest guy, but we could not always control the distraction that the lights were creating for him. Treven and Ady did great for the most part, as long as they were not too focused on their little brother. It took only a couple of minutes and we got some great pictures of the kids to hang on the wall! Ady looks beautiful, we are so grateful that Treven actually has hair, and you can see all six of Jonah’s little teeth in a couple of the pictures.
Treven and Ady were baptized Saturday February 4, 2012. It was a great day. We had so many family members, friends, and ward members there to support them. They were given special journals and towels by the Primary. The towels have their name and baptismal date sewn into them. Ady got out her journal that night and wrote all the guests that were there, and then wrote “guests there from Heaven: Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, Grandma” with big hearts next to each one. She then drew and wrote on two pages dedicated to Grandpa (my Dad) about all that he said and how much she loves him. They both reflected on everything that was said, and they both are excited to take another step in the path back to our Heavenly Father. It is amazing to think that these are the same children that were once such tiny twins fighting for life. The same 3 & 4 pound babies that were tangled with tubes and lines for weeks in the hospital’s ICU are now big, healthy eight-year olds. I am proud of them and the decision they have made to follow our Savior and be baptized. I am so grateful that my Father in Heaven would entrust these two special spirits into our care. Treven and Ady are great, special kids and I love being their Dad. We love you Treven and Ady and are so proud of your righteous decision and desires to follow our Savior.
