Winter’s Morning

Winter gave us such a beautiful morning!Winter MorningWinter Morning(and look at those cute bunny tracks! …at least I think they are bunny tracks…)

I feel like winter has given me a lot of good things this year, inviting me to slow down, refocus, and finish up some things that have been needing to get done. And despite the really cold temperatures, it’s actually been kind of fun experiencing a new climate. Jake and I often watch our phones on cold nights to see just how low it will get. Then we run outside to feel it. Brr!

All of this makes me so grateful for a cozy home. So grateful.

Hyrum’s First steps!

Jake usually comes home from work really happy.  It’s like a bundle of excitement when he walks in the door because he is super happy to see the kids, the kids are super happy to see him, and I’m super happy that he’s home. It’s great. Anyway, after he walked in the door, the kids ran over to greet him with hugs.  Jake saw how happy Hyrum was to see him, so he stood him up to see if he would take a step toward him. And sure enough he did!firststeps-1firststeps-4firststeps-8firststeps-12

And then they all shared pretzels.  Hyrum has been sharing his food a lot lately. It’s so sweet.

Also, last night while Ava was watching a movie, a slow song came on. Jake and I started slow dancing when Ava says to us, “Why are you guys waddling?” 😂 Must’ve looked as awkward as it sounds. We totally don’t care. #mamanotes
