We got 16 inches of snow in Stafford, VA! I think that is more snow than I have seen in Fayetteville,NC in my entire childhood. Chances are that things are still going to be white for Christmas!
Settling into life in San Salvador has been an adventure. Everyday life can feel overwhelming, and we are still figuring things out. On weekends, we rent a car to do our shopping and try to carve out some family time. One of the most beautiful things about our new routine is that when we go to church on Sundays, the San Salvador LDS Temple is right there, just across the parking lot. I often wish I could take the feeling of the temple with me wherever I go. One particular Saturday, I had just had enough.

Wow, I can't believe that Spring Break was the last time I posted something! We have had so much fun during the year here in Moscow.

I think with this many children you need it! We finally arrive to our destination and ....Wow! The walk up to the park was on a little brick street. Mike and the k...
Hello everyone, I haven't posted in forever. Let's see, I live in Tbilisi Georgia underneath Russia. I now have 5 beautiful children. I finished the Church's pathway program and am now finishing my last year of BYU-I online. For a class assignment, I have been tasked with making a blog with some helpful information about parenting that I have learned this past semester. I thought I would post it here since I already have a blog that captures my parenting adventures. Well, a few adventures anyways. What can I say I'm a busy Mom?!
