Meet our new friend

Introducing...

Jude Minard Feeley, born to our good friends Oliver and Natalie.

He was born on 16th May and we got to meet him on Saturday.

This is us with Jude and his big sister Bella.

What a pair of posers!!!

London Temple

After 12 years of waiting Ross was able to go inside the London Temple.

He had a big smile on his face and he can't wait to go back again soon.

Ordination Day 15th May 2011

Big day for Gareth and Ross.

Gareth was ordained to the office of Teacher in the Aaronic Priesthood now that he is 14.

Ross received the Aaronic priesthood and was ordained a Deacon.

Gareth now has the responsibility of preparing the sacrament, and Ross is now able to pass the sacrament to the congregation.

Gratitude

I am grateful today for my knowledge and testimony.

I know that my Granny knew that she would go back to heaven.

Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 7 in the Bible, and Alma chapter 40 verse 11 in the Book of Mormon tell me this is true.

I know that she is happy today with all those who she loved here who have gone before her.  I am happy for her.  I am sad for me but I know I will see her again.

Birthday Number 5

Here we are in the customary card and present opening position.

Ross chose Party Tea....hooray thats my favorite too!!

And here is the yummy chocolate cake.  I couldn't decide what to make but had just acquired a 2nd hand cook book so I chose the page which had been used the most (I judged this by the amount of ingredients spread across it) and the previous owner had good taste because it was delicious! 

Happy 12th Birthday Ross.

Number 4

We are nearly there now, the end of the Williams family birthday bonanza.

Gareth is 14 today and is here with his play station which he saved up to contribute to.

He managed to save £150 to put towards it, which was fantastic.

Here he is with his Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cake. 

A New Experience

This is what I chose to do for my birthday!

A Garra rufa foot spa.

It felt like day old nettle stings in the shower 

or that feeling after pins and needles when your feet feel numb and tingly

I loved it and would definitely do it again.

Thanks to Grandma and Di for playing along with my mad ideas and braving the experience.

One of those memorable days

Anticipation

Martha has waited so long and talked so much about this day and finally it arrived.

Worthiness

I am thankful that Martha is worthy and ready to be baptised

and that Calvin is Worthy to hold the priesthood and perform the ordinance of Baptism

Examples

I am grateful that Martha has two brothers to look to for an example of 

how to choose the right.  She has many other great examples in her life.  Most of all she has her Saviour Jesus Christ whose example she follows in being Baptised.

Support

We all know that we are there for each other but we also

know that Heavenly Father is there for us too.  We know that we can rely on the 

Holy Ghost to guide us.  In Martha's confirmation she was told she would 

continue to light up people's lives.

She certainly does that to mine daily.

Party time

Calvin and Martha invited friends over for cake and ice cream

on Friday evening.
