Precious moments

The most beautiful. 


Michael Phelps research and presentation. 

She loves balls.

And cereal.

And her rattles and high chair. 



And how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful place. 

And have the restored gospel and the words of the living prophets. 

One of my favorite General Conference talks this weekend.


And some vegan crostini (before and after baking.)



And a dessert: oreo vegan cheesecake, a 'first' for Ella. 

  
All in all- a blessed weekend even though both Hrishi and I were very sick on Saturday but much better today. Thanking Him in all things for His grace and mercy are truly wonderful.

Big sister did the honors and served her first. She liked it a lot!! 





She even held her bowl. What a sweetheart!! 




Look who's a big girl!!! 


Earlier being held by daddy and with sissy watering our plants. By the way, we have a couple of tomato and eggplant plants in pots. Starting small but hoping to have a raised garden next year. 



A few more precious memories from the weekend, when our beautiful Ella bore a strong testimony and was able to hoof-pick Remi for the first time. Pretty huge milestone for Remi, I tell you.



Gracie turned 4 months on Saturday but although we made cupcakes, we didn't really do our thing with pictures and all so I snapped this one in the rush of trying up make it to church on time! :) 




Aren't they cute??!!
