Outside my window… sprinklers watering late summer green grass. cool temperatures… lovin’ that. I am thinking… about Abe’s home evening lesson on temples (from the friend). He did a super job. He asked questions… gave positive feedback such as, “Yes. Perfect answer.” “Very good.” “Anything else?” It was cute. I am wondering… if we’ll remember […]
I really didn’t have much to do with our garden this year. Jimmy did 95% of the work watering and harvesting. We started out with 4 wee little tomato plants, zucchini & carrot seeds. The kids helped plant. Everything grew and grew. We had cool spring temps and lots of rain this summer. We ended […]
I thought I’d take a few photo of Eliza for her 1 month birthday which was on Thursday the 15th. Here she is:Oh – wait… I think Max snuck into that photo … last minute. I relocated and tried again. Now you can see her: Hmm…. guess we can see that Eliza never is really […]
Often when I’m feeding Eliza and having computer time, Tru climbs on my lap and wants a “Bideo”. These are his favorites (well… besides his 7 second ‘Bacon’ video). You can tell I’ve influenced him since they all involve piano and cello. But I do love that he likes them. He even recognizes the cello. […]
[I know, I know… I’m just getting longer and longer these days in my babbling posts. But I share because this is my space to note important things to me… and this is … well… important in my life. I suppose this is the beauty of blogs… uninterested persons can just ignore me and my […]
What happens when you buy a wee little toddler a new pair of sports shoes? All of a sudden he seems to grow up and become a boy. I thought these pictures turned out cute of Tru. He was in a pretty good mood yesterday. He was quite pleasant. I wondered if his eye teeth […]
Let’s see… what when on last week? A bit of this and that. Hannah started braiding bracelets for everyone. She made some boy colors for Abe and Max. I finished my half-silly project of making a carseat canopy to protect sweet Eliza from germs, sun, and strangers hands. The reason it was silly is because […]
Today was the day – the beloved Primary Program. It was my first time going to church after having Eliza. She slept through the entire meeting. A new ward was created which we will be a part of. We’ll miss so many in JW 4th Ward. The kids were so sad about leaving all their […]
I wanted to remember this message shared in the Washington Post by President Monson. My favorite parts are in grey. 9/11 destruction allowed us to spiritually rebuild By Thomas S. Monson The calamity of September 11th, 2001 has cast a long shadow. Ten years later, many of us are still haunted by its terrible tragedy […]
[Observation: I’m not filtering much these days. I know this post is mostly for me – for the record… so that someday when I’m 50+ I’ll remember to be kind to young mothers because I REMEMBER the long days. Hopefully I’ll REMEMBER and recognize the blessings that were poured out upon me as well.) Lately […]
