Lizzy's Birthday & Baptism











Well, Hard to believe, but Elizabeth has turned 8 years old on us!! She has gone and grown up, which means we are getting old!! Grandma and Grandpa (Cassie & Craig) were able to come and see us in the Arctic tundra and join in the wintry festivities. She celebrated with her friends by having a Hannah Montana birthday party (cool...totally!) Then on Saturday we took a quick trip up north to the Mackinac Bridge, a large suspension bridge that connects the upper peninsula (the "u" "p" as we call it here) of Michigan to the lower peninsula. It was cool to see and we even saw some big freighter ships plowing through the iced over Lake Michigan and Huron! Sunday was a very special day. Elizabeth was baptized. She was very excited, nervous, and happy. The program went well and Lizzy kept saying the rest of the day that she felt a warm feeling. I think we all felt it. We are very proud of our 8 year old! We love you Lizzy!!
