March Smiles week 1

I am smiling because this past week is over.  I think Tuesday and Wednesday were two of the hardest days I’ve had since the accident.

Both the manometry and pH test were miserable for me. By the 22 hour that I had the tube down my nose, my esophagus was so irritated that every breath caused a new spasm to start. I was in terrible pain. Thank you for your prayers and best wishes…. that is all that got me through it. I would not wish these two tests on my worst enemy (if I had a enemy). I am smiling that they are both over. Now, I hope they showed info that will help the doctor cure the problem.

This is Davey…. our son David’s oldest boy. He recently turned 8 which is a very important birthday in our church because he is old enough to be baptized.

We traveled 600 miles…part of it through a snow storm…. to attend his baptism. I was nervous driving in a storm since our last March trip up here ended with our accident, but thankfully we made it through just fine. Smile Smile

 I loved seeing my 2 Davids dressed in white. I’m glad that our son is a worthy priesthood holder and could baptize little Davey.

They looked like angels to me all dressed in white. The church was filled with love and smiles.

We were so happy to be there to share this special day with Davey and our family.

We baptize by emersion. I could not take a picture of the actual baptism but this is a picture of the font. If you would like to know more about Mormon beliefs click here.

After the baptism we went back to the house where we had a lovely lunch. We spent the rest of the day yesterday visiting with family and enjoying being together. Jalen entertained us at the piano. ….

…the kids played all sorts of games… you can see that Cal was well prepared.

It was a lovely day…. one that will warm my heart forever. Is there anything better than spending a day with loved ones???? I think not.

This cake sums it all up. Our family joined together to express our love for Davey, the Lord and each other. It was a wonderful day that filled my heart with smiles.

So the first week of March was one of extremes  for me. Tuesday and Wednesday I was extremely miserable…. and Saturday I was extremely happy.  With the help of the Lord I got through the miserable parts and was able to enjoy the wonderful parts.  I am thankful.

I hope you have a great week ahead.
