Time for a Jacob Appreciation Post! We are on the doorstep of a completely new chapter in Jacob’s young life and I am so excited for it! He is growing up and it is such a beautiful thing to see. I have been reflecting extra on Jacob lately. In the next couple weeks, Jacob will …
This last year, I have tried to incorporate some more “holiday” school into our family’s homeschooling life. We did a little something extra for Valentine’s Day earlier this year and then we did “Thanksgiving School” last month. It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …
Jacob, Sarah, Benjamin, and Lydia had their Primary Program today. It was the one and only time all four of them were in it together. I am so grateful for the gospel truths they are learning. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13

We are trying to do more “experience” type gifts in our family and it has been so fun. Memories over things any day! Mark and I got Jacob tickets to go to the Wild Animal Sanctuary for his birthday and Jacob cashed them in this week. Mark and Jacob went together and had a great …
