Finally Marcus got a baby blessing. He is well over 2 months now and didn't fit into the fancy outfit that his Grandma bought for the occasion. :( After church we went to Delaware Park (one of my favorite places here) just to take a few pictures of his big day.
A couple other BIG things happened at church. Brent started his new calling teaching prospective elders during priesthood, and I was released as Relief Society President. I feel like I am entering a new chapter in my life. Being RSP has been such a huge part of my buffalo experience. I have learned so much.Like
how to navigate around a city with a map, an undependable car, and countless new addresses. . .
And,
how to have a little more empathy as I have worked with women that have completely different challenges than anything I have ever faced. . .
Also,
How I have to rely on the Lord to feel in for my inadequecies
And finally I have learned to love so many women all over this city!
I am so grateful that our church emphasizes strengthening families and I have a bishop who understands my need to have a little more time for my 5 children. I will miss the blessings that have come into my life leading in the ward relief society and appreciate the close associations I have had while serving with so many different women that have taught me so much. I wonder what will be next?

Cute picture in the trees!! Wow - I don't know if it is a thing to say "congratulations" about getting released from your calling, but I bet that will be a relief with a new baby to have more time on your hands.
wow, big change for you. I'm sure you were so wonderful at RSP, your RS will miss you. Hopefully they won't call me to teach CTR 4!! Right after #5 was born for me, I got released from primary pres and then put in as CTR 4 teacher...hello!! I was hoping for a little RS time alone!!! Oh well, back in primary pres again now in new ward and happy....
