Dottie

While my parents were here for Ryder’s baptism, we drove down to Ft. Lauderdale to visit Dottie, whom my dad baptized when he served his mission in Georgia.  She’s the prettiest little granny.  And her son was kind enough to take us all out to lunch and around to see the Ft. Lauderdale temple and the marina where he is doing construction.  It was a great day, minus the Florida traffic. 

Ryder’s Baptism

Ryder was baptized January 19 at the Ellsworth, Florida ward building.  We thought we might have to get baptized in the swimming hole because of construction that was happening in our church, but thankfully he didn’t have to go swimming with the gators.  We were grateful that Grandma and Grandpa Nielson, Grandma and Grandpa Bagley and Aunt Leslie came. 

The primary president let us borrow this blue cast cover that you suck all the air out of and his arm stayed perfectly dry.
