A Vote

I liked this for the texture. It reminds me of some of the recent wedding dresses that I have seen. But as far as the color, there have been opposing but valid opinions. Anyway vote for the one you think is best.

Narcissus and Hyacinth

I broke my knee cap. I biffed it ice-skating with the YM/YW. I am laid up for about 4 more weeks. I have received a lot of help from my friends and ward members. Also my Mom drove down to help take care of me and my family. I am so so grateful for the help from everyone. I sure need it. Mom brought these flower down to brighten things up.

On occasion I take photos that are completely out of focus like the second one of the narcissus. Despite the obvious flaw I still enjoy looking at it.

Dad's Italy

While in Utah we downloaded this images mistakenly. They are taken by my Dad on his last trip to Italy. I think he has a unique perspective since he spent two years serving as a missionary there. I think the first one is especially lovely.

Sweet Aurora

I think of this dress as a Flutter dress but to Clara it is the Princess Aurora Dress. I can almost hear Tchaikovsky playing when she twirls. You can tell that she just loves to wear it and I love getting her hair curly. I don't mind saying that I got it at H&M for 18 dollars. A bargain if you ask me.

Grapes

Coral Bark Maple, Beauty Bush, Barberry

These were taken in my moms backyard. I think the names of the plants are really fun.

Christmas

Mom ordered a new Spritz maker. Shannon helped me cut out snowflake marshmallows but I didn't eat enough of them so I made these square mellows yesterday with Clara. It was cute, Clara blew in the cornstarch and it covered her face like Micheal in Mary Poppins, but white. Dad and I spent a lot of time setting the table for the 3rd Sunday dinner. I thought it turned out beautiful. The nativity was really dangerous for little Christopher acting out Jesus. He was surrounded by loving cousins.

Five Months

John is a couple days shy of 5 months. I call him Smiley. I just love to hear him laugh and he has just started to work really hard on sitting up. In no time he will be pro.
