Halterman Happenings: Blessings!

Blessings!

Tessa recieved a name and a blessing in church on Sunday. Most of Barry's family made for the occasion.

Although we had a hard time getting good pictures of our little family and Tessa, we got some grat ones of Barry's family!

I LOVE this one of Barry's sisters! Ooo, la, la, ladies! Can you believe that two of these three gorgeous ladies are available???

After the blessing (which was beatiful, btw), we went to Amber's house where she made burritos a la Cafe Rio, with all the fixings, in honor of my birthday and Tessa's special day. (Yum!)

Then I opened my birthday presents (the "Cansolidator" and other kitchen storage supplies). Then we attempted some multi-generational photos. You can see how Trenton felt about these...

Jami said...: Trenton's face made me laugh! Classic! :0) And Tessa's outfit was so cute! I love how it wasn't the usual white and had such a pretty bonnet to go with it! And if you made that, I'm feeling very inadequate right now! :0); 1:12 PM

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
