We started a BIG PROJECT for us at the beginning of March and we are so excited! It’s going to take some time – but progress is progress and I am so happy! Sarah is probably the last one that should get a room makeover – but alas, she is! Sarah easily had the most …
Winter 2023 Schoolhouse
Thoughts this Winter Was it just me or did this winter FLY by?! I think it probably was just me. I know this winter was brutal for a lot of people weather wise – but it was pretty good to us academically! I felt like we finally got into our groove after months and months …
Power of the Covenant Path
Lydia was asked to give a talk in Primary. At first, I must admit, I really didn’t know what to do. I was grateful that they wanted to include Lydie but unsure about how to help her with this. I asked Sarah if she would help Lydia and she was thrilled! This talk was tender …
Petite Plums
This summer, Sarah began taking ballet lessons once again (after our move). We found a great studio and Sarah seems to really enjoy it. She did say it is a lot more strict than her last one but also that she is learning a lot more. For their winter show, they keep it pretty casual. …

Trust in the Lord
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” PROVERBS 3:5-6 These three sweeties were able to participate in their Primary program earlier this month and they did so wonderful. There is something absolutely beautiful in hearing …
Sarah’s Baptism
Sarah Esther, I cannot tell you how very proud of you I am. This was such a very special kind of day. Some days are more happy than others. Some days are more exciting than others. Some days are more important than others. But this was one of those really important, happy, exciting days all …
Sarah’s 8th Birthday
Our little Sarah girl. She is light and joy and goodness and patience and love and we were so happy to celebrate her on this very special birthday. I think possibly my favorite thing Sarah said about her birthday is this: “I’m kind of glad my birthday is on a Sunday. That way it can …
