About a year ago, I actually had the impression to name our next girl Mayzie after my awesome Grandma May. It just came to me one day, and when I mentioned it to Greg, he loved it too. I always remember my dad calling my Grandma "Mayzie" as a nick name! When I called my Grandma to let her know we were expecting, that it was a girl, and that we wanted to name her after her, she was thrilled. It was so fun to tell her. And what do you know, but my Grandma passed away 2 months ago. I am so thankful we were able to tell her, and even more excited to name our little girl after her - she was a person I hope our Mayzie will grow up to be like.

Since we have been home, it's a constant waiting line to hold Mayzie - Brenly especially enjoys her turn - which seems to come more often than anyone else's!
It's hard to believe we have a son old enough to be baptized already! Adam was ready and excited though! We have been so blessed to have him part of our family - specifically the oldest child in the family! He has been faithful in reading his scriptures and saying his prayers, and is really a great example for the other children. We had the opportunity to go to a convert baptism earlier in the day, which was really neat. It was so neat to see Adam dressed in white next to Greg. He truly seemed to glow. One funny thing was that I had been telling him how warm the water would be - just like a big bathtub. Well, they must have left the water in the font from the baptism that morning because the water was really cold! But I think he'll remember it forever!
