When life gets hard and we feel worn out...

It's time to reflect on our blessings. A happy & (otherwise) healthy family. A solid testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. A home that is ours, not because we own it, but because of the Spirit that we invite to reside in it. The laughter of our children, the cry of a baby that knows it is loved and yearns to be in the presence of its loving family.

Just like the pioneers, we keep on pushing our handcarts, even when the exhaustion is unbearable and the final destination is still miles and miles away. We'll get there.

{Day 49} The girls adore their little brother...but are already talking about a new baby sister (?!?)




{Day 65 } It's fun to be a kid again!



{Day 60} My little guy is 15 weeks...filling out quite nicely!



{Day 57} The weather was so nice in February and watching these two play also warmed my heart.

{Day 74} A certain little girl has an in-grown toenail & is now on antibiotics!
