...first of all, sorry about the delay in posting!  We are at the ranch and I need to go to a neighbors house to get online (we should have internet by next week...they need to lay cables since we are in a remote area).  Here are some more photos from Tess's baptism before I begin our ranch posts.  She did so well at the baptism...when Pastor Roger asked her why she wants to be baptized, she said "because I love God and want to be good and live for God".  She has such an eagerness to learn more about Jesus and has constant questions.  It was a beautiful sunny day and we rented a giant "JUMPY" for all the kids to use...that was a success!

...SO...we are now at our ranch in Utah.  After a few rainy days, it is glorious here and we have been taking some great hikes, quad rides, horseback rides and just kicking back in the back yard by the river.  Tess has been doing "sleepovers" at my parents house and just loves being over there. I love how happy my whole family is out here!
