Luke Lately- Baptism and Confirmation!

May 3, 2025:

I can’t believe I have an 8-year-old!!! TIME FLIES! He is now officially a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

Leading up to the baptism, I had a lot of mixed emotions. I wondered if we should postpone. Was he really ready? Did he understand the decision he was making? Did he feel it was his decision, not just ours? So many thoughts swirling in my mind.

But on the day of the baptism, and even in a few moments the week before. . . those questions and fears began to fade. As Luke answered questions during Family Home Evening and talked about his baptism, I felt peace. And on the day itself, there was just an overwhelming sense of calm and joy, even despite my mix-up in assignments of talk topics . It was such a special day! We were so lucky to have both sets of grandparents there to share it with us and so much love and support from our ward family. 

It was a really good experience for Luke. When I asked him about it almost two months later, he said it was “a very good day.” He remembered the sweet talks MeMe and Papa Moncur gave, how super warm the water was, and, of course, the fact that he got some presents and someone gave him ten euros. 😉

April 2025

April was filled with sunshine, celebration, and so many sweet memories. Being tulip season in the Netherlands, there is lots of energy and bright colors and extra tourist in the city.  We loved the warmer days of April and had lots of sunshine, perfect for adventures.

We packed in plenty of fun this month, from Easter celebrations to the orange-filled joy of King’s Day. Here's a little photo dump straight from my phone, just a glimpse of the happy moments we shared throughout the month.









Really loved painting these eggs this month and now need a set for each of the kids as a keepsake :)
