She was radiant, all day. She was full of such a zeal that she couldn’t walk anywhere, she ran. The program ~She was baptized by Grant Underwood and Confirmed by Scott Bland.Her fondness of red!She wants to thank everyone for their thoughtful gifts. Spicy: notice, she already colored her pillowcase this afternoon – also, she added one detail to the baptismal font: the mirror.
Thank you to our friends & family who participated, it was a special day for Myla and absolutely perfect for our family.

KJ LOVES Dinosaurs, to put it mildly. This week in preschool they have been doing a unit on Dinosaurs and each day while we drive home from preschool he shares his freshly discussed information with me. Yesterday he was going down the list (I can’t even tell you correctly each of the dinosaurs he was talking about) of this dinosaurs eats plants, this dinosaur eats meat and (Dusty chimes in with his so-useful Zoology degree, “and is a carnivore”), this one eats plants (again, enter Dusty with his so-useful info, “and is an herbivore”), this one eats meat and plants (again… “and is an omnivore”)…you get the point. And he turns to me, holding up his lip to show me is strong teeth,
