It has been a while since I last posted, I think. I spent 10 days at Amy's house after Isabel was born, came home and a week later, Isabel, JT and Amy came to stay with us for a few days. JT is feeling quite grown up now and does not want to sit in the high chair. Who can blame him, now that he is a big brother! Of course we would not consider putting Isabel down!


He also enjoyed helping me make some French toast for breakfast. He is a good cook! Almost as good as Parker. With a little more practice, I may not be able to tell the difference.


This last weekend, we traveled to Tulsa and Isabel was baptized. She wore the same baptismal dress that has been worn in my family for 6 generations. In fact all of us in the picture, except Ralph were baptized in the dress. Amy worried that Isabel would gain too much weight to be able to wear it. She and Amanda (and Allen too) were all well over 10 pounds when they were baptized so I wasn't concerned at all. It fit her perfectly. More importunately she was baptized and now is a part of the family of God. I was blessed to be able to assist with the baptism.



Afterwards, Allen gets some neice and nephew time with the boys and Isabel. Turner and Parker love JT and I know they will have a fun time with Isabel too. Allen looks like he has it down, after 7 babies, I think he is getting to be pretty comfortable holding the little ones.



And of course Parker is JT's keeper. A baby taking care of a baby- no offence Parker. :)





Amanda and Isabel enjoy a squeeze and pink together.


And Grandpa and Isabel have some tummy time. She looks so much like Amy.

And now it is spring break and Parker, Turner and Amanda are here for a few days. More pictures to follow.
