Baby H

Our newest little cousin, H, was baptized recently up in Paso Robles and we were able to fly up to see her big day.  We are so excited to get to be part of her welcoming to God's family.  Thanks Aunt B and Uncle M for letting us stay with you while we were visiting.  It was a nice service, at the local mission and we got to visit afterward with lots of family.  It was also neat to see Great-grandma with both of the newest baby girls in the family.  Doesn't she look tickled to get to hold them both?

Colonial Visit

The second graders recently took a trip to Riley's Farm in Cherry Valley.  

There they learned about  colonial life and got to do weaving, make candles, see a blacksmith work, hear about soldiers' lives, play old-time games, take a ettiquite lesson, press

apple cider, and see a perpetual motion machine work.  And at the end of it all they got to get locked up in the stocks and see their teacher in them too!  I need one of those for the house when my little angel is being "uncooperative".  Hmmmm....
