18 March 2011 - New Car / Cora's Baptism / Chambersburg

Among other activities this week, Joanne got a new car.

We got the new car just in time for our weekend jaunt to Washington D.C. for Cora's baptism.  We were able to stay at Jenni and Ed's house on Friday evening and enjoyed some authentic abuelo-style Mexican food (yum!).  On Saturday morning we attended Cora's baptism.  I didn't take any pictures so you'll have to hit Rebecca or Aunt Kathy up for some.  Man, I'm getting bad.  We had a good day with the family, then that evening we drove up to Chambersburg to stay with our friends, the Prines.  Madeline loves their dog Lucy, and wore herself and the dog out playing fetch.

We went to church with the Prines the next morning.  They just moved to Chambersburg from our ward about six weeks ago.  In Sacrament meeting, Kenna was sustained as the new Relief Society president in the ward.  We will certainly miss them, but we know they're already making great contributions in Chambersburg, and will continue to do so.

After three very busy weekends, with two on the road, we were glad to be back home this week.  Madeline got to finish up her leprechaun trap for school.  She was very excited about it.

Spring arrived this week, and I was able to enjoy an 80 mile motorcycle ride with two friends from church on Saturday.  We also got started on some long-deferred yard work, as we all usually do around this time each year.
