I met my mom and Tiff up at IKEA for a morning. We had 7 kids under 5 between us. I barely managed to get the crib box in our cart (a nice worker helped load it) and in the car. Max is in LOVE. He understood it was for him quite early and 'helped' Daddy build it. He immediately wanted to try it out and just laid their so contently with a big grin. It didn't take him very long (maybe a few weeks?) to figure out how to climb out of it and its been such a headache for Chris and I at bedtime.
Eddie and Kayla and their babies came down for Grahams baptism. I gave the talk on baptism and tried to engage Graham's active attention, he ended up standing in front of the table and the 'talk' morphed more into a conversation with him. Alec said the closing prayer then we went to their house for a yummy dinner. We got a picture of all the Archibald grandkids.
Rebecca and Trevor had the great idea to do a little Starkville branch reunion with Elizabeth. It was so nice to be able to get together and reminisce / catch up on our Starkville friends and memories. Elizabeth told us Jake Gines was put in the Stake Presidency! Also, the Stake boundaries changed and the Columbus ward got put in the Tuscaloosa, AL Stake. How sad.
I remembered to get a picture of Theo in the Archibald boy traditional cowboy outfit my mom got Alec when he was just a baby. I need to find the other pictures of the other boys in it and do a comparison photo collage.
