One of My Graces





Three years ago we welcomed her into our world, arms and forever family. We gave her the middle name Grace. That she might be a woman of grace "elegance and beauty of movement or expression,seemliness; a sense of propriety and consideration for others; a disposition to kindness and compassion" (Dashboard Dictionary). And most importantly, that she might always remember her greatest of gifts, the unmerited gift of Grace from our Savior.


Our celebration of her birth included a day as a Princess, A daddy-daughter date, a Pinkalicious party with friends, some homemade gifts and lots of love and gratitude.

Adelaide is full of faith, ever asking, ever trying, every singing-reading-teaching-dancing-pretending-learning- loving...

She is quick to remind us of divine grace and often prays "please bless us that Jesus can live with us".

Truly, she has graced us with her presence and I am honored to be her mother.

Here's to being three!

I Love you Adz.

"I am very busy...goodbye" I think that will make me laugh forever. I really almost cried! She is so dang cute I can't even stand it. We Love You Addy!!!
I was going to rant and rave about your creativity and amazingness for creating such a great kitchen...but since I know you don't really love the praise I won't :-)

I can't get enough of this video. I play it over and over. I love you all so much. Perhaps Addy can cook for us at Christmas.

So, Sara- the last blog of yours I read was about Twilight. I myself have wondered SO many times why there aren't more touching things that embrace a virtuous, healthy relationship. I came across this today (Glenn knows this guy... I think he is still in college at BYU and made this ALL himself. It totally looks professional). I thought of you immediately and anted you to see it too.
