Welcome Home Bill and Hawley! Hooray!!

After three long and eventful years, Bill and Hawley finally came home this July from being Mission Presidents in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mission. We missed them terribly and it has been wonderful having all the family around this summer for some much needed reconnecting. Just some random photos of the Barrett clan this summer 2010.

Little E!

Easton continues to keep us on our toes and amaze us. He is Mr. Social, always having to be playing with friends and leading the pack. They change from Super Heroes to Secret Agents to Cowboys to some thug from the "hood." It's quite entertaining to see what they will come up with next.

He played T-ball this year and LOVED it! He's got quite the left arm throw and hits a doozy when he get a hold of the ball. Looks like father like son. Won't Will be proud!



He started Soccer again this year and is "kicking" some serious B-hind...and goals too. He's scored 26 goals so far this season compared with last years 11. He decided he wanted to keep a running total however, so we are up to 37 goals so far. Grandpa Joe gives him a $1 for every goal. He's got enough saved up at this point he plans to buy a pillow pet.

McArthur's Baptism





McArthur, although 9 this July, was finally baptized and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were so proud of him and his decision and faith to be baptized. It was such a wonderful experience for our entire family as we got to participate in missionary discussions in preparation for the baptism.

McArthur wasn't very receptive to the missionaries at first, but he quickly grew to anticipate their arrival and interacted with them in his own little "McArthur" way.

Jax Grows Up!





Little Jacqueline isn't so little anymore. She began Junior High this year to my great horror and surprisingly likes it. I don't know if that should make me happy or worried. Here's a pic of her and her cousin Joseph on the first day of 7th grade.
