I have to think back to my week, because it feels like Janustember 1032th. Andy started Trauma this past week. He hasn’t had a break since he started so take this schedule with a grain of salt: 6 days a week, 13 hr night shifts. Yup. He got a couple of hours of sleep the …
We didn’t have a lot going on this week, but Bev and Mav had preschool open house. I am ready for preschool to start. Being cooped up in the house for four plus months isn’t good for anyone. Granted we had time to visit family, which was so fun and so exhausting, but definitely good …
Max is back at school. We made the tough decision to put him in and pushed forward with faith. But my faith was tested when he came home on the first day and when asked how his first day was, the tears came. His best friend had moved to a different school, he had to …
We were able to virtually bless Harvey today with friends and family watching. We were able to get away one last time before school starts. We went to the local lake for one last beach day. We were able to go with our neighbors and we took a friend’s twins with us. It was nice …

As you can imagine, having a baby makes things a little chaotic and normal routines and tasks get pushed to the side. Having a baby in the middle of a pandemic makes it that much more challenging. We were blessed to be able to have my mom and dad come visit and help us during …
We had a bit of a crazy Easter as the kids went to town on their Easter Baskets and Max was really the only one with any self control, so I’m pretty sure all Bev ate today was sugar of one form or another, Mav had a bit less and Max had the least. Typical. …
If you missed any session, or have never seen a General Conference from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you can watch it here. My brother joked that he was underwhelmed by the Saturday morning session, my response was that it was a build up to what is to come. I felt like …
The beginning of April seems to bring some important events. It is when we believe our Savior was born (April 6th), as well as the date of his resurrection, it is also when the church was officially established, and for me personally it also has some significance. My brother Thomas died April 3rd (same date …
