Another Week Has Come and Gone...

I'm just getting to last weekends adventures and what do ya know? It's almost the weekend again! Life goes by so quickly!

Saturday we again headed down to Salt Lake. This time to celebrate our adorable newphew, Jacomo's, first birthday! It was another bitter-sweet occasion as it is so hard to have family get-together's and have Vittoria not playing right along side the cousins. It often feels like she is just off in another room playing where we can't see her.  We know she was there, but just not visible to our eyes.  We certainly felt her presence though.

Despite all, we had a fun day!  That little boy got spoiled, I'll tell you what! But it was well deserved spoilage! 

Jacomo was very uncertain about what to do with the candle.  He just pointed at it until Daddy helped him blow it out! 


As for what we're thankful for this week-- (we had FHE about gratitude and so I have Luke and Tianna's input for this one)
Tianna- "Mom, Dad, Adelia"
Luke- His girl's
Adelia- her feet!
Me-- since I already said my family last week, I'm grateful for my calling in Young Womens.  I have made so many friends and very special relationships through this calling.  I'm so grateful I get to spend time with the girls and the other leaders.  It's wonderful to prepare and teach the lessons and attend all of their great activities.  It really has been one of the very best things for me up here in Logan.
 Last night we had YW in Excellence and it was awesome! It was kind of like pulling teeth to get the girls to display stuff but it was so worth it. The spirit was very strong in the meeting. The food was awesome. We watched a really cute photo-video of our activities this year and it was neat to remember all of the cool things we've done this past year.
I love my calling and I am SO thankful the Lord answered my prayers when I prayed for a calling to help me feel needed, keep me busy, and bring me friendship when we first moved up here. I was so lonely and Luke was gone (is) so much that it's been a huge blessing to have a place where I can belong.

Here's a pic of my projects from this past year-- I've been trying to scrapbook,  put together 72 hour kits for my family, and read the Book of Mormon in 90 days (it was a goal most of the YW and leaders set-when the goal was met last week we got to go out to dinner at Firehouse Pizzeria!-YUM)

Last night I had "help" making bread.  Adelia dove face first into the flour! It was so funny. She got out of it and glared at daddy because she was looking at him when it happened.  Really, it was more my fault, but Dad got the dirty looks! hahah....

I also have some cute pictures of Tianna playing in the leaves.  Adelia got in on the action for about a minute or two, but once she started grabbing handfuls of them and stuffing them in her mouth, she was done.

 

Wow I have beautiful girls, don't I?
