Yesterday at church we had a baptism. I cried. Then we sang "Pow'r in the Blood." I cried. No, I'm not pregnant, but of course I always cry at baptisms, espcially when it's an incredibly sweet 6th grade girl who has made such a wonderful decision. AND I always cry when we sing songs that were prevalent at Salem. Even though it never sounds quite the same because we have a piano, those songs always make me think of my Salem Church family and I miss them. I miss sittin on the back pew with Sherry and Kerry, I miss Marjorie calling me "The Little One." I miss our riduclous Sunday School class, and I miss all of the people I grew up with.

This weekend we didn't have much special planned, but we stayed busy. Friday J took the boys to Cabela's with him and Luke while I did some birthday shopping for Corban. That evening I was going to go to spinning class with Di, but that didn't work out. Instead we took the boys to the Y to play in the gym with Corban's newtohim basketball (J picked it up off the side of the road). Corban loves that ball and had so much fun running around at the Y. Saturday we ran a few errands, fools errands as they turned out, but oh well. After naps Saturday we ended up taking the boys over to church to play for a while b/c J had to go turn the heater on for the baptistry. We made a HUGE pot of vegetable soup on Saturday so we've been eating off of that. Yesterday we did church and then J went fishing. I took a bit of a nap, we talked to Nana and Poppy on the webcam, and the boys and I went to Craig and Di's for dinner. The boys were both so good, I was so proud of them!

Corban is going to be 3 next Monday! Mom, Dad, John, and Paulette are all coming up for it. We're not really doing anything, just pizza and ice cream cake here at the house with the family, Craig, Di, Luke, and Na. I think I've come to the decision that we'll have bigger parties for 1 and 5 years, and we'll see what comes after that. It's just too much to do friend parties when there are two of them, and I feel so awkward with the parties, b/c we ask people not to buy them gifts, to just come and celebrate with us, but that doesn't happen. I can't figure out where the time went though, seems like just a few weeks ago we brought him home from the hospital and he was so tiny! (It was snowing when we brought him home, hope that's not the same weather this year!)
