Yesterday our youngest family member turned 6 years old. It was a happy day for her and one of mixed emotions for me. So far 6 has been a magical number as her separation anxiety that has plagued us for MONTHS has vanished. Hallelujah!! Cami’s birthday celebrations started the Wednesday before, as she took cupcakes [...]

As soon as Cami lost her first tooth, she realized the tooth next to it was a little bit wiggly. Sure enough, it quickly became more and more loose. Fast forward to yesterday when it was just flapping in the wind again. I was a little afraid she’d lose it during her ballet class, but [...]

While most of the UK had two weeks off of school for Easter Holidays, we opted for one. Getting out earlier at the end sounds like so much more fun than taking it right now. So, we stuck around London and relaxed for our one week of break. Emma and Hannah enjoyed a week-long camp [...]

We took advantage of Chris being home for Good Friday to go explore a part of London that we hadn’t been to yet . . . Greenwich, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian Line. Greenwich isn’t the easiest of places to get to, as we took the train, the tube, and then [...]

As we begin April, my thoughts turn to a post from about 3 years ago. For some reason, I’ve been in the same mind-frame . . . just thinking about all that I am thankful for in my life. I felt it was worthwhile for me to repost it, for my own benefit. Reposted from [...]

It seems that General Conference time always involves baking. Eating and General Conference are just synonymous in our house. Now that we are time zones away from Utah, we don’t watch General Conference until the day is almost over. So, instead of making a fun breakfast, we need to think of fun snacks to make. [...]
