Always a Miracle

Anyone who says that they do not believe in Miracles, has never had a baby!!!You would think that after having 4 children, the entire act of child birth would be routine, but it never fails to amaze me the miracle that it truly is. Tears come to my eyes as I think of it, that we are trusted to teach and bring up our Heavenly Fathers children. We go through life never knowing that something is missing until that vacancy is filled. I didn't even know that I wanted little Will, but I can not imagine my life without him and he has only been here one week. He is such a sweet baby and fits right in with our family. It is like life is a puzzle and we can see what a beautiful picture we are creating, we just can not tell if we have all of the pieces yet to make our picture complete. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for all of my blessings, those I can see and those I can not. I am so blessed to have my children in my life all 5 of them (well 6 if you count Jeremy)!!!

Just what was needed!

For Thanksgiving my parents treated all of us kids to a getaway in Gatlinburg. It was just what we needed with the stress of the upcoming move and all the events that were about to occur in our lives. It was so nice just to escape it all and spend time with the family. Not to mention the fabulous luxury cabin that we stayed in, surrounded by beautiful mountains. I have never been a morning person, but I loved waking up every morning to the sun coming up over the mountains. Even now when I get caught up in the anxiety of everything, I think back and remember our time there.

Can't Believe ...

I can not believe that my little girl is old enough to be baptized! It was such a special day and we are so proud of the choices that Ashley is making. She has such a sweet spirit and really wants to learn so that she can choose the right. I hope and pray that she always keeps the desire to stay close to her Savior!
