My Knight in Shining Armor

Flu

Our family has come down with the flu. Trying to keep it from wee man will be tricky. I’m so grateful that my husband can still be here to take care of us. God sees more than we can see.

General Conference 2019

We enjoyed listening to the Prophet and Apostles. My favorite talks were Elder Hales, Elder Renlund, Elder Christofferson, Elder Callister, and President Nelson’s talk from Priesthood session. I love knowing that Christ lives and knows us, and speaks today.

Spring

This spring has been spent quietly: holding John Paul, taking walks with the kids when possible, trying to live in and appreciate the moments of the present.

Holy Week

This week has been full of good activities: we’ve read through the events in the last week of Christ’s life, made hot cross buns and enjoyed a Seder meal to celebrate the Passover.

Adjusting to Seven

 We finally were able to attend the Temple again, thanks to Monta Benson and Sandy watching our brood. Monta is such a sweet friend. We introduced JohnPaul to his great grandparents, made gingerbread cookies, and enjoyed time together as a family.

God knows best

One of my favorite hymns is “Be Still My Soul”. There are times we wonder why we have to endure certain trials, but God knows better than we do. That’s been the case with John Paul’s birth. I’ve endured more pain in the past week than ever before, but now he’s here safely and that’s what matters most.

 It’s fun to think of Ryan having two sons to hang out with. Jake loves his baby brother.
