Parker loves walking

Santa even found us at the Ronald House


Wednesday marked the half way point of Parker's school. We finish a week from today. Things are going beyond what we expected. We are having so much fun, learning tons, and playing so hard. I am learning what Parker is doing, and what she is capable of doing, is nothing shy of miraculous.  Although therapy for three hours a day Monday through Friday  for a 1 year old is no easy task. Both of us girls have had our share of tears, wining, and times of frustration and exhaustion. When I am falling to anxiety and insecurities, I find the moments where I feel the faith, love, support, and prayers of others around me like a blanket of rejuvenation and hope. Like an added measure of love from the Savior.  Peace, knowing the Lord is aware of me and the little family I have stewardship to. Aware of the motherly mantle every mother frets to fill for her children.
I am so grateful for caring therapists who think about Parker beyond the moment we walk out their door.
This experience is one I would never trade. So blessed to have a mom and family who make the best cheerleaders!

01/22/2014 Today is a landmark day for me. It's been hard and I can't believe today is here. Today marks the one year anniversary of Grandma Joy's passing. The longer she is gone, the more I miss her and realize how much she taught me.

 12/02/2013 Thanksgiving was a surprise in Arizona! My Mother-in-law was turning 50 and that was excuse enough to surprise-fly out there!

Happy Day from us. WISH WE COULD BE THERE (prank picture)!

I declared today as Grandma Atkin Day! Why? Because I have been thinking about her a lot over the past several days... and I ended up making two of her most favorite recipes...today!  I'm so grateful I got to have Grandma Joy as My Grandma. It is interesting, the longer she has been gone, the more I miss her. As I grow and learn more as a wife and mother I see more of the special person she was. I felt like I have always thanked her, but I cant wait until I can thank her even more.

I love this picture because I think we look alike and it shows the joy our relationship was.
