Julia's Baptism

Julia turned 8 on the 17th of this month, and this Saturday she was baptized and confirmed (by me) a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Here's a picture:

Both sets of grandparents were able to come out for the weekend, so we had a lot of fun with them. It's pretty rewarding to see Julia growing up to be such a wonderful kid. She's so curious about learning everything, and sucks up everything she can hear or read. The other day I was talking about a sapphire we grew at work and she asked how much it weighed. "345 pounds, I said." Her immediate response was: "That's 45 pounds more than Taft!".
