“The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.” ~ Horace Bushnell You know the days when you hear about hard situations or tragedies people face? It puts things in perspective in my own life and I rally my spirit to keep […]
Hannah has a darling friend, Abbey, from our ward in Tennessee. They are a month apart in age and have known each other since age 4 – 2007. Their personalities are both so sweet and creative. Yesterday Abbey and her family came for a visit. They are so good to make the effort to see […]
Low and Behold… who showed up at our door today? Abe’s First Grade Teacher, Mrs. Nuttall. She brought 6 cds full of photos from the school year. Abe was so glad to see her. On the last day of school he was in tears because he would miss her so much. I really can see […]

I love this quote and photo shared by Rebecca Cooper. So perfect. Though – I did enjoy my tulips while they lasted. A little bloom outside the window does provide much cheer.
This week was sort of random. We did lots of work… a little play. We’re getting used to a new schedule. The kids were funny. The kids were hard. The kids were energetic. Yep – it was a jumble of things. The best parts: Max: “I love your baby.” Then with kisses and sweet little […]
Why is it that PBS only plays the best stuff during telethon? Well… tonight we came across a pure gift of song. I’m not sure it could be anything else at her age. We’d never heard of Jackie Evancho before this. How does a voice like that come out of such a little girlie? This […]
