A few days ago... or was it a few weeks ago? Wow! Time goes so fast sometimes that I can't keep one day separated from another... anyway, whenever it was, I was thinking about the people in my life that have really had a profound influence on me. One of these people is a good friend in our ward. She has such an amazing way of making everyone, and I'm not joking when I say EVERYONE feel like she totally and completely loves them. I think if it weren't for her I would have had a very hard time living in Salt Lake City. There have been so many times I've been feeling crazy and stepped out the door to find some little surprise hanging on my doorknob. I often find myself thinking, "how can I become just like her? She always seems to know when someone needs her." Well, one of the things she does, and that I have started thinking about a lot is finding joy in life. So... when I started thinking about her I started thinking about the things that bring me joy. Guess what? Those things most often start with family and sort of flow from there.
One thing that never ceases to bring me joy is my baby's funny faces. Here she is trying "solids" for the first time. She isn't sure what to think of the whole "texture" thing since this rice really has no flavor.
Another thing that makes me super delighted is watching my girls play with each other. I am so glad they love each other and so thankful for these moments...
However short lived they are. (I was trying to post a video of Victoria and Leah playing, and fighting, but it wouldn't work.)
