My Little Pick-Me-Up

Yesterday was my cleaning day, so I spent most of the day in my cleaning clothes. In the evening we decided to go to Arctic Circle for a little ice cream and playtime, so I decided it was finally time to look presentable. I threw on a hat and some clothes and came out to leave with the boys, when Lucas looked up at me a bit breathless and said "WOW! Mommy, you look beautiful!" I think my heart smiled.

Ready to Harvest

Elder David Bitner has officially begun his 2 year service for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are so proud of him and his willingness to serve. He is such a wonderful example to us and our boys. Lucas said it well at breakfast this morning. When David asked if Lucas was sad that he was leaving, Lucas said "No, I'm just going to miss you." We are all going to miss him dearly, but are so excited for him to begin this next journey he has chosen to take. Russia is sure in for a treat!
