it's been a rough week...

4 new teeth...

but i'm still smilin'...

a day for reflection...

it has been a busy week! loren's 4th trimester is coming to a close which means TONS of tests, Noah is starting to walk and get around much faster, which means tired mom and with the holiday season fast approaching, it means days of shopping, cooking and being with friends & family.

i have to take a moment and reflect on how great life is and the many blessings that we enjoy each day. it truly is amazing. i am surrounded by awesome people everyday and i want to thank you. you make me want to be a better mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend. loren shared a beautiful message in his last lesson that talked about our Heavenly Father's love for us. i see that love through you everyday and i hope that you can feel that same love through me. if i don't express it enough, you are valuable to me.

Sweet Home Alabama...

Noah and I went to Alabama to visit my mom. It was so fun! I had forgotten how beautiful it is there. Huntsville is in the foothills of the mountains and the tall trees are amazing this time of year with all the changing colors. Noah loved it and, of course, got spoiled by grandma. He didn't realize that he could be kissed, cuddled, and adored so much in just one week...other than by his parents!

happy halloween!
