Easter

We had a lovely Easter Sunday yesterday. We had a wonderful program in church which was mostly musical numbers with a couple of short talks. Our little family sang "I Stand All Amazed" and I felt it went really well. Even Dallin was able to stand up there with us with minimal distraction and sing the parts he knew. My parents and Hannah were able to come and see us, then the whole family came over for dinner and egg hunt activities. It was a nice time visiting and catching up. All the kids are so busy and it's nice to hear what they are up to.

I am so grateful for the plan of salvation and that my family can be together forever. There really is nothing more important than our families and on Easter as we celebrate the miracle of our resurrected Lord these are the people I love being with.

Maddie's Prom

My baby girl had her senior prom this weekend. It was fun to prepare for it with all the dress drama, hair appointment, manicure, all the things that go into making memories. She and her date Graeme were a beautiful couple. I hope she will remember that night fondly, as I do my proms. Prom is just one of those memories that linger, hopefully in a good way.

Tomorrow is her Senior/Mother tea. Just the first of several "end of year/end of high school" events coming up. Sigh.

Little Purple Pansies Touched With Yellow Gold

My goodness, I have let my blog go to seed! I guess I just haven't felt very inspired to write lately. Today I am home with Dallin, who is sick, again, with a fever. I also happen to have pink eye so...look away! I am hideous!!! Anyway, I'm just feeling so happy about spring. This is the first year I can remember getting tired of the gray and wet days. I love fall and winter. I don't spend a lot of time outdoors anyway, don't like bugs, sweating, sunburns, you know. But this year I'm feeling the need for spring. Easter is in a few days and I've put pansies in my flower boxes and they are so pretty. I've enjoyed getting outside these last few sunny days and just breathing in the fresh air. It's been so nice, so spring...keep it coming...I'm more than ready.
