Spring is Here

Winter finally abated and beautiful Spring has arrived.  Avery and Lydia have been spending hours and hours outside exploring, holding bugs, and splashing in puddles.

The rare moments the girls love being together are just heaven to me.

Todd's father passed away on our anniversary.  Losing him and going through the funeral was much harder than I expected.

Meditating to the music being played by one of his grandchildren.

People say Todd looks like him in this photograph

I was driving with Lydia this morning when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir came on the radio and sang, "Hush Little Baby, Don't You Cry." I told Lydia that it was Grandpa Hammond singing to her.
