Welcome to our "new blog." We have officially moved to Maryland and having more than one bathroom is truly as wonderful as we all imagined. We are also eager to get going on our list of "must sees" while we are living so close to our nations capital. Seth is working at the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda for 3-5 years so we have time to do it all. We love staying connected with family and friends through blogging so thanks for stopping by!

Charlie’s Baptism

On Saturday, December 1st Charlie was baptized and confirmed by his Dad into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It was a wonderful baptism and we felt very blessed to see so many people we love come and support Charlie!

The Whole Gang!

Grandpa Thacker gave a talk on baptism and Uncle Mike talked about the Holy Ghost. He used a mouse trap in his talk and the analogy is still being talked about.

  1. I love Charlie's baptism announcement. I love the wording "chosen". We talked about that in RS yesterday, how it is our choice- the Lord doesn't force us, but invites us and we show our commitment to him by choosing. So sad we couldn't be there to celebrate with you.
