Two Years Ago Today...

This little miracle was placed in my arms and my heart felt whole. As I held him close, I knew that he was absolutely worth the wait...the one that we had been hoping and praying for. Our son.

Landon's birthday is a time of great reflection for me. I still thank my Heavenly Father for him every single day. I still pray for his birth mother and birth father every single day. I still fall a little more in love him every single day.

Dear Grandma,

Thank you for finding my sunglasses! I've missed them very much. I even insisted on wearing them when I took my nap. (My Mom is such a pushover.)

Love,

Landon

Allie-isms

On Saturday Allie went to the UVU Women's Basketball game with our friends, the Boettchers. Chris is one of the coaches. When she got home she came in and showed me a rose that she had gotten at the game. She was grinning ear to ear and the first words out of her mouth were: "Mom, I know what you are thinking and I did NOT get this from him." She had gotten a rose from one of the players, but was horrified that we might assume it came from her friend Ethan (who she admits to having a huge crush on).

On Sunday I was sustained as the Camp Director for our ward. I am excited and looking forward to a fun week. Thankfully we have a great group of YW! Allie doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. She couldn't imagine why people kept commenting on my new calling. Because, after all, it is an easy calling in Allie's opinion. She said: "Don't people realize that you do Activity Days twice every single month? Camp isn't a big deal, it only happens once a year."
