A few pictures of Grace

We've taken a lot of good pictures of Grace and Evelyn lately, we just haven't taken the time to post them. Sorry!

Stacey's friend is a photographer and she took some pictures of us. Here's a link to her blog, which has some great pictures of our girls.

Amazing Grace



So I have been reading this book called The Infinite Atonement by Tad R. Callister. (It's a great book. Highly recommend it.) Consequently, the day before Grace was born I finished the chapter "The Blessing of Grace". Nathaniel and I had been considering many different names and Grace was one of them (not my favorite at the time) but after reading about grace, I felt it was very appropriate for her.

I look forward to teaching Grace about the meaning of her name. She has brought into our home such a sweet spirit. There's no doubt in my mind that she came from Heavenly Father's presence. My greatest hope and desire is to see that she returns back to Him... after living a long and happy life. :)

I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Nathaniel really is amazing and takes such good care of me and our little girls. I couldn't have asked for a better father nor husband. I am so grateful to know that God has a plan for me and my family. Even though it's difficult with Nathaniel's crazy schedule and not being able to get as much sleep as I would like, these really are the best of times.
