Back from the mountains......

I had a great trip to Utah..... It was COLD! I left 75 degree weather and was greeted by snow when I arrived that afternoon. Essie was a champ on all the flights and charmed everyone she met..... She loved her Utah family and had a great time. Kennedy was baptized while I was there, and I was honored to be a part of it..... It was such a beautiful ceremony..... I cried like a baby. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Mormon religion the child's daddy actually baptizes them.... I'm telling you it was an amazing thing to see. Kennedy is such a special child, and you could just feel the Spirit in the room. AMAZING...... Nat and I just hung out with the kiddos most of the time. We had plans, but it was too cold to do most of them. We did manage to visit my favorite Utah eating spots.... YUM.....

Essie did well most of the time, but I quickly realized we would have to rethink our honeymoon plans. Essie just isn't close to being ready to be away from us..... She had a horrible time missing Andrew and Anne Pearce..... Anne Pearce also had a hard time without me..... Oh mommyhood. Never a break....... I am ashamed to admit that we didn't take many pictures. Nat's camera died, and my camera battery konked out....... I'll share what I do have over the next couple of days......

Here I am with the girls before Kennedy's baptism.

Trying to use the camera timer before we left for the airport....

Man, am I fat or what??? Isn't my NatNat beautiful??

I couldn't resist this one..... Nat's 2 week old nephew had just spit up..... It rolled right down the cleavage which Natalie quickly informed the entire room (full of good Mormon men). I said, "Excuse me Dennis (Nat's father) and went in for the clean up......

Glad to hear you had a great trip and that you are back safe and sound. You could always do like me. We are leaving for our cruise in 8 days and taking one of the 5 with us. I think it was harder for the girls with you all being split up then if you two would leave the girls together and go on a trip. Hope you still get to go somewhere! Let me know if you still want me to make some flower bows for your outfits! =0)
