Some of our Favorite People

Mom-Julie, Hailey, and Nick brought over some fabulous Christmas presents for the girls and stayed for about an hour. They only left because Lynnie was so tired she was actually crying for her bed! They are such good friends and we feel privileged to know them.

Nick shared M&M's -- if he wasn't already Ellie's favorite person, he is after that!

Lynnie always wants Hailey, and will jump out of my arms to get to her!

I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are real and that they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Often, the Lord’s timing of His tender mercies helps us to both discern and acknowledge them....I believe I have come to better understand that the Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ....When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
