Robert is 8!

I have been meaning to update my blog about my family but we've just been so busy! This post won't do it justice as I have pictures that need to accompany the words but for now- it'll do!

Robert turned 8 at the end of October and was baptized this last weekend by his dad. He has been so excited for this day. All 3 boys sleep in the same room and we keep the monitor in there. I remember the day before his baptism, Robert woke up and siad to Joseph "Only one more day until I get baptized!" He and the girls sang a song and both of his Grandpa's spoke. There was a little glitch in that someone else got to the building first and was using the room even though we had scheduled it. We worked it out but there were no clothes that fit Robert so the waist of his jumpsuit was down around his knees. None of that matters though. He was still beaming. His Grandmpa Morgan came down from Utah and we so enjoyed seeing him and wish he could have stayed longer and brought Grandma with him but she was recovering from surgery.

Robert is an imaginative boy! He loves to draw and covers his walls in his room with his artwork. He makes friends so easily and everywhere he goes he tries to find some child that he can play with. He is a good big brother and tries to set a good example for his little brothers and sister. Even though he has a quick temper- he has a tender heart that helps to keep that a bit more under control. We love you Robert and I'm so glad you are my first son. You have such a bright smile and an infectious laugh that we just couldn't do without!
