I love to snuggle with grandpa, even if 

it is on the floor.

Life's Simple Moments

It is amazing how simple life can become:

eat, sleep, poop!  We've gone back to the

basics you could say.  That is basically our 

life right now and so the seemingly simple

has become some of the more 

beautiful  moments of our lives.

One night after being awake for a long time in the

early morning, Anne finally was settling down. 

I had her cuddled up in my arms ready to lay

her in her cradle,  she started smiling. She

smiled several times (okay okay probably gas but still), 

it was so beautiful. Swells of love filled my heart and 

out my eyes as I realized again, what a miracle she is.

She was the answer to thousands of faith filled prayers,

years of waiting and then more miracles still.

The name Anne means: Grace of God.  How

true that is in our life. Even though I was so tired

that morning it didn't matter, I held her longer, 

believing those smiles were just for me.

Another beautiful moment was this morning,

I went back to bed. As I started drifting back to sleep

I heard Scott, doing the dishes, making french toast,

singing "Let it snow" (which it just did, but didn't stick),

and talking to our baby. I fell asleep smiling!!!!!!

Honestly, what more could you want on a Saturday morning.

We're Home!

We are HOME!!!

On Wednesday, Anne, ate all of 

her feedings and so on Thursday, evening

we all came HOME!!!

She is doing great! And we are loving

being home all together at last! 

Our hearts are sooo thankful!

Love is the most amazing thing; there

is always room for more of it in your heart.

My heart feels like the grinches, since

this miracle my heart has grown several sizes.

My love for Scott, Anne and a loving

Heavenly Father has grown more deeply and

 in ways that I never realized were possible. 

Also, the love and gratitude for my loving 

parents has grown as I am beginning to understand

the love that only a parent can feel. 

WOW! 

Although, the last few weeks have been absolutely crazy;

we have felt the arms of the Lord wrapped around us, lifting

us, guiding us and giving us comfort.  

Angels have truly surrounded us. And as Elder Holland said in

conference today, many of those angels have been

people who have been the answers to our prayers.

One angelic figure has been my mom. She has intensively

cared for us for the last few weeks and there are not

words or adequate thanks that can be given. 

Love you MOM!
