Saturday was C’s second birthday. It is amazing how quickly time seems to fly now that I have children. They grow up at an astounding rate. It was so strange to have my little baby telling me who he wanted to come to his birthday party. Who gave him permission to have an opinion on [...]

Who Are You?
Despite a day full of church and family activities, I was determined not to miss another Sunday in my goal to explore faith more fully. I sat down with this month’s issue of my church’s magazine, the Ensign, and was drawn to the title of one particular article, Your Divine Heritage by Elder Robert C. Oaks. [...]

Pieces of Childhood
Rain, rain, go away
Come again sometime in May
Or this flood won’t go away.
The water in my backyard had been receding. Then, it rained buckets again last night. I think the flooding is now worse than it was initially. Add to that the fact that it is scheduled to rain almost every day this coming week, [...]

The baby is officially theirs! I have a new nephew (again, officially–I’ve considered him my nephew for many months now). I am so happy! After all of the [...]

The Best Laid Plans
I am lucky to have a husband who is also an involved daddy. On Friday, as I was working furiously to finish a baby carrier, he was planning for Easter. He pulled out a little over half of the four-dozen eggs in our refrigerator and boiled them so everything would be ready for coloring eggs [...]

What’s Next, A Plague of Locusts?
OK, so two weeks ago was “The Great Blizzard of 2008.” Then, earlier this week, it rained.
I mean, it rained.
As in, gather the animals and build a boat.
OK, maybe not quite that bad, but bad enough that it flooded my back yard. In the 20+ years that I have lived either in this house or [...]
