Several wonderful things have happened this past week and I'm excited to share them with you. First is our doctor's appointment where we found out the gender of our baby due in March 2019 (look down to find pictures). Next we were able to have a good time with family when they came over to find out the gender and enjoyed a meal together. Lastly, was the wonderful spirit brought by enjoying the sessions of General Conference for the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter Day Saints. I always feel so uplifted by listening to modern revelation for the Church and taking upon myself the challenges and impressions I had.
Claire
Although she is as cute as can be and wonderfully destructive, she doesn't understand that she won't be alone for much longer. She goes along with whats happening around her very easily and always seems to be happy to just keep moving. She enjoys the days that are still beautiful weather outside and we go for walks in the yard. She LOVES bouncing on the trampoline and dancing to music. Her non stop walking around to find more toys and more books only makes her frustrated when we limit her to playing only downstairs where there isn't anything she can ruin too much. Hopefully we can have her stop putting things that are found on the floor into her mouth so we can trust her upstairs on the dirty floor.
The New Girl
That's right, you heard it! We are having another girl join our family next year and we are over the moon excited that Claire gets to teach a little sister the ropes. Mom is excited to use all the cute outfits again and dad is excited because we let him made a sparkler bomb and blow up the pumpkin to reveal the gender to everyone. The bomb was a little too effective and ended up going off with him only a few steps away! There weren't a lot of big pieces left to show off the pink jello that was inside and we hope he learned that a small pumpkin doesn't need such a big boom.
The Conference
I have grown to love General Conference weekends and not only because I get to stay in PJs all day, but because I learn so much! Ever since I started preparing myself for conference before hand by having questions and then taking notes on my impressions, I have enjoyed a better spirit. Just like my love of the scriptures grew when I learned how to love them personally, my love of General Conference has expounded as I have personalized my experience. I am so happy for the speakers thoughts as they shared what was inspired of them to share and look forward to taking upon myself the challenges set forth by the Prophet. I will be recording my progress in the scripture reading here at the end of the blog post to keep myself accountable and hopefully share how it is blessing my life. I am pleased to say I have already started by reading the Introduction and the testimonies of the witnesses so I am ready to start 1 Nephi tomorrow. I'll be reading 2-3 chapters a day and marking every time I read about the Savior and how he has shown love for the people. I hope others will join the call and feel closer to God because of their seeking to know Him.
