More Snow



Well this is the view out my front window on 26 April 2008. It snowed about 20 inches in the last 24 hours! The morning news on the 25th called for 1-3 inches in the higher elevations and rain where we are. They sure know what they are talking about! This will basically be our 3rd break-up this year. At the end of March the snow was gone and I was able to do some yard work. Then it snowed. The last week has been sunny and in the 50's and there were only patches of snow left on the lawn. Then it snowed. I really hope this is the last time and that it will melt soon. Tomorrow is Pascha!

Macrina Baptized



Macrina Naomi was baptized on Lazarus Saturday at Saint John Orthodox Christian Cathedral. When she was pressented with her cross she had such a great, wide-open mouthed smile - it was like she knew what an awesome, life changing event was given to her. Father Marc later said he had never had a baby smile like that after baptism. Her Godparents are Jerry and Shelly Finkler, who are such great people. She received her first Communion that day as well.
