Olivia's baptism day

Here is a video of Olivia after her baptism, April 27. She had a great day, slept 7 whole hours the night before!!!! WOW!!! Lee and I weren't quite sure what to do with ourselves!

As you can see (and hear) from this video, she was a very happy girl. This was an amazing blessing to our small family after the challenges of the last few weeks.

We have continued to try to discover what may be causing our sweet child such discomfort, and at this point we suspect reflux and teething. But with alot of prayers and help from family and friends (a big BIG BIG shout out to the Mount's, Olivia's new Godparents!! We love you and don't like to think of what the last three plus weeks wouldv'e been like without you!!!), our pediatrician and some good books, Olivia is at last finding some well earned peace. And of course, this peace translates into peace for Momma and Poppa too!

Spring is slowly pushing aside the chill here in the northlands, and the green buds of growth seem more beautiful than ever to this desert rat.

Sending love and warmth to all of my friends and family far away and near!
