relax and enjoy

We blessed Grace on Sunday. She looked beautiful. We had great friends to be in the circle with Paul; Jeremy Barton, Jeremiah Johnson, and Stephen Baker. Paul gave a beautiful blessing that covered all aspects of Grace's life. She is a blessed daughter of God, and we are blessed to have her in our family. I'll post more pictures of her in her dress later.

This is a dress I wore as a baby.

Playtime with our friends! The kids played on the couch cushions for hours. They were having so much fun!

 Sometimes we invite Jeremiah and Danika over to play with Caleb's toys. Buzz and Woody had fun.

"Hi I'm 3 months old and as cute as a button!"

We only have a few more weeks left in New Hampshire and although I could keep myself busy with projects and my to do list I've decided to take it easy and just enjoy New Hampshire until we need to pack. No extra projects, no "to do" list (besides the basics) and all PLAY!
We have been busy looking for housing in Ohio and a lot of thinking about when we'll bring along and what we'll leave here. It's been a tough decision but we've decided to bring our kids and leave the couches.

Squeals of excitement!

HAPPY EASTER!

 

Our growing girl! Smiles and sweetness all around.

Ready, Set, Go!

Say "cheese"!

 March has been a good month. We've adjusted to having a baby, I've been reminded of the joy it is to stay home with my kids, and we get to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and ponder on the depth of his sacrifice.

The last few weeks all my siblings were together in Utah. This doesn't happen often. But my little family wasn't there. I missed being a part of the family fun a great deal, but now looking at these pictures I am reminded at what a blessing it is to have my own family and enjoy our small gatherings. I'm also grateful for our friends in New Hampshire that come to celebrate holidays with us that are normally spent with family. Friends are wonderful people. I've come to realize the difference they can make in my life, the love they can give, and the sadness they can turn to smiles. I will be very sad to leave them all.
