There are signs of spring outside. We hear birds chirping. It is lovely. The snow has melted in our yard. It’s been in the mid-40s. We have survived winter. A brrrrr cold dark winter. We are ready for sunshine and green grass. Walks on the trail. Tulips. Thank you birds for bringing HOPE to February.
how does this girl sing so amazing?! liza loves this version since it has a little dancing.
Eliza has been using her creative genes to experiment with photos in picasa. This ‘heat map’ setting seems to be her especial favorite!
Quick update for the family record on Tru’s health. 2 weeks ago he got a fever, stopped eating, and was lethargic. Strep Throat! with the scarlet fever rash (which is inconsequential though hearing it made me think of all the movies with people dying from scarlet fever … Beth from Little Women, Gilbert in Anne […]
You should have seen the look on Liza’s face when I showed her Hannah’s old dress-up ball gown that matched Barbie Island Princess! Delight! She even let me do her hair! She danced and watched Island Princess Ball scene over and over so she could imitate the dance moves. Oh Liza!

On Friday, January 24, 2014, Max went in for minor surgery: a Right Hydrocele Repair. If you don’t know what that is, you can google it… just be watchful not to click on images. Max was really nervous about his surgery. But we talked with him about how he would be asleep the entire time […]
For my 38th birthday Jimmy bought me a nice camera… like a real camera. Whoo-hoo! What a generous dream come true! I have oodles to learn to get better photos, but I notice a difference right away that it actually focuses on the subject and blurs the rest. Nice! Here’s Liza’s pose. Can you believe […]
Was reminded of this quote this week. This principle is grand! Faith is so simple, but I think I make it complicated sometimes. WHAT IS FAITH? Mormon.org “To have faith is to “hope for things which are not seen, which are true” (Alma 32:21). Each day you act upon things you hope for, even before […]
