We have been in Westminster Maryland (about 45 minutes north of Baltimore) for the weekend visiting with the Baker family. James' sister Laurie lives here and her daughter, Madison, recently turned eight and was baptized this weekend.

James' parents came from Montana, his sister Julie came from Utah (with Olivia) and Brian's parents and sister, who are local, came to the baptism.

After the baptism we all went out to lunch to celebrate and also as a birthday lunch for Madison who turned eight on March 21st and Kiely who turned 6 on March 24th.

Then we went to a 3D movie called "How to Train Your Dragon".
The rest of the weekend we spent just hanging out. My brother and his wife (Pentti & Amy) come up to visit on Sunday afternoon from DC. It was great to see them for the afternoon.
We are very happy that we could be here to celebrate with Madison and to spend some time with the Scoffield family. We are leaving for Italy this afternoon. It will be a long day/night but I am excited for Part 2 of the trip.
Ciao!

How great that so much of the family could be there. Safe travels to Italy. I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteJames & Maija the family gathering looks wonderful, and of course Mom & Dad Scoffield pop up everywhere....I would not be surprised if they are there to meet you when you get off the flight in Italy....lol.
