Elder Ulisses Soares’ messages are always filled with doctrine. I have learned that his messages are ones that I need to read and re-read because there is so much depth in them. There were two paragraphs in particular in his most recent message that are bursting with promise and truth. Elder Soares spoke of covenants …
Our every day April moments 🌼 Bach Music Appreciation Jacob and Sarah have been learning about Johann Sebastian Bach and LOVING it! We have finally found a music appreciation course that is working for us! YAY! Illuminated Letters Jacob and Sarah have also been studying about the Middle Ages and designed their own illuminated letters. …
Sarah chose to fly kites for our family’s spring bucket list. We had been waiting for the right day with the right conditions. I don’t know if we succeeded in this but we gave it a go! It was pretty gusty – we would have these strong winds and then it would just die. It …
Lydia lost her first tooth! And she officially wins the award for being the youngest to lose a tooth! We’ve noticed a couple of wiggly teeth lately, but they weren’t wiggly enough to pull (or so we thought!). But then Mark looked over at Lydia and saw some blood coming out of her mouth and …

Two weeks ago, Lydia had an appointment at the Rett Clinic. We were so grateful we were able to get in when we did. It has been eighteen months since her last one and a lot has changed for her since then. This is a marathon of an appointment but it went so well! Making …
General Conference Earlier this month we had the wonderful privilege of hearing from a Prophet of the Lord and leaders of His Church. It was amazing, as always. The messages were filled with testimony about our Savior, Jesus Christ. But if I were to pick one theme for me it was TEMPLES. I felt like …
It may be two-thirds of the way through April – but I am really enjoying these posts! 😉 So here are our every day March moments. Snuggles Almost every day I find Ben snuggling with Lydie in the morning. And it’s my favorite. Caterpillars In March, Ben and Lydie learned about caterpillars in science. It …
I am sure I am not the only one, but ever since last Spring I have been thinking of this message shared by Elder Gary E. Stevenson. I loved adding more depth to our Easter season. Holy Week was beautiful. We had so many wonderful conversations as we focused on our Savior. On Thursday, we …
