On Sunday the girls and I went to the Baptism Preview for the year at the church (TJ was out of town). I can't believe Tallie will be turning 8 this year and getting baptized! She was so excited to go and learn about what will happen on her big day. She even did the lesson for Family Home Evening the following Monday on Baptism and she did such a great job teaching Chloe and Lexi all that she knows. She showed pictures of Jesus getting baptized and asked us why Jesus needed to be baptized and why we should. She showed people getting baptized now days and explained that you can get baptized at any age just no younger than 8. She showed a picture of the Sacrament and told us that taking the Sacrament is like a "mini" baptism each week where you can repent and be clean again. She showed a picture of a baptismal font and tried to explain baptism for the dead and how when she turns 12 she can be baptized for some one who died without getting baptized. She sure is smart and really listens when we or her teachers at church teach her.
This is an exciting year!
Tj finally gets home tonight and I am SO HAPPY because monster mom is starting to come out because I could really use a break and some warm weather.
