Lydia’s 11th Month
How are we only one month away from her first birthday?! If I could freeze time right now – I would! It’s hard to imagine that at one point this little one struggled to put on the weight! Lydia is sitting nicely at 21 pounds 12 ounces (75%) and is measuring about 28 1/4 inches …

Quarantine

Hear Him
Here are my favorite parts from the recent General Conference given by our prophet: “The increasing darkness that accompanies tribulation makes the light of Jesus Christ shine ever brighter.
