It has been a month...and I'm finally making time to update the blog. "Finding" time to do it just doesn't exist, because there isn't time to find with two kids. We blessed Michael on March 14th with Brian's family and my family that were able to attend. It was a wonderful experience and Brian did a great job. It was a wonderful feeling to have our dads in the circle. Family is such a blessing and I'm so grateful that ours is eternal.
Here is Brian's dad, Brian & Michael, and my dad. Michael was named after my dad. He's so stellar! :)
And of course, who could forget Adam? Here's Adam on March 13th when we celebrated his birthday with family in town (just a week early). He blew out the candles and loved the cake! (On his real birthday, he blew out the candles on the first try!) And I really wanted to make a nice cake for him, but with a new baby and family in town and sleep deprivation...it will have to wait.
And just a cute little shot of Michael. He was just a few days old (thus, he still has the umbilical stump) and he changes a little every day. We're so happy to have him here!
Here's my mom and dad with the boys the morning they had to fly back to Utah. I had a really hard time saying good bye...since they live so far away and we don't see each other often. After they left, I was sitting in my room, crying, and holding Michael and thought, "if it's this hard to say goodbye for a short period of time, imagine what it would be like if I really messed up and lost eternity with my family..." How wonderful that we can be together forever, and how rough would it be to not be able to be together because of poor choices.
We took Brian's parents and brother (Neal) to Natural Tunnel, hoping to show them the "sites." Sadly, the chair lift was down for maintenance and it was too muddy to hike down and back up. Maybe next time they come out...Adam had fun, regardless--he got to be outside.
And for one of our family home evening activities the boys all played "Hungry, Hungry Hippos." Adam loved it!! He keeps asking for the "potomus" game. I'm just glad he's old enough now to not try to eat the marbles, like the last time we played it.
