Our family is growing!

A lot of exciting things happened in January. Rylee and Reese had a baby girl, Peyton and we got to see her when she was a little over a week old. She is beautiful and such a good baby. She is sleeping the night through. At least 6 hours and that is something for such a little thing.
We were so excited to meet Matthew at the ShowLow airport as he returned from his two year mission. Boy is he handsome and has grown since he left home. He is now two inches taller than his dad and that is pretty tall! He reported his mission and we could tell that he had served a wonderful mission. The Spirit was so strong. Matthew is now looking for a job and possibly looking at girls again. After the Sacrament meeting Lorri and Scott had a big crowd come to their home for a luncheon. It was wonderful to be able to see and visit with all of Scott and Lorri's family. We got to see little Olivia Grace Bird, Lisa and Brett's baby for the first time. What a cutie. Talie and Trent's son Gavyn was baptised there in Snowflake on Saturday so we were able to witness that special event. Talie is expecting a baby girl in May and she looks wonderful and happy. Scott and Lorri now have nineteen in their family.
Also, Dalton and Donna had a baby girl January and are naming her Danielle Marguerita Dunn. Carolyn and Paul are the proud grandparents and Carolyn said the baby is so good and when I talked to Donna she said she is feeling good. Donna is such a natural and good mother. This little great grand baby is number thirty three and we still have three more on the way. Boy! Zion is growing and especially the Wayne Davis family.
Tonight Savita Patel will be baptised. She is an Indian lady originally from India. She and her husband, Dyia, are running the motel here in St. Johns. She became interested in the Church when she met Christine and started reading the Book of Mormon. She is such a neat lady and we have learned to love she and her husband. Savita is an excellent cook and has had us come and eat at her house many times. Of course it is Indian food and Grandpa does not like it but I do. She is a vegetarian so we have not been able to have her come and eat with us as she does not care for our food.

The family really is growing. I miss being able to hold the new little ones. It is fun to see all the pictures.

That is wonderful about Savita. I think you all were instrumental in helping her find the gospel. I am sure it was a great baptism.
