I am completely in LOVE with this boy!

It's so amazing to be a mother again of a newborn.  

I have had so many feelings that he is so close to heaven and wondered who he encountered there.  There are many loved ones beyond the veil, and many still to meet. How could one look at a precious babe and not know that God's hand is in everything?

I love having Ezra in our family, he is such a content baby.  He eats well, sleeps well, takes a pacifier, gives us the cutest gassy smiles, and he has dimples.  I can over look the discomfort I may still be feeling and I can honestly say that I have never been happier in my entire life.

I have such an amazing husband who loves to serve me and praises me for everything, he makes me feel so loved and beautiful, I love him so much.

My Kali is such a great sister and is so helpful, she loves Ezra so much.

Here are some pictures from the past 3 weeks.

We are so in love with him!

He was 8 lbs and 20 inches long.

 Spencer and is such a proud Dad.

Kali is a very excited and happy big sister.

And Ezra is such a wonderful baby and a little sweetheart.

Funny Studio C skit

So, we watched this episode of Studio C yesterday, and I think this is the first time I laughed at this show.  I guess it's funnier since I can relate to it.  I hope you enjoy it too.

Tender Mercies

We have had such a great weekend together, I love family!!  Spencer and I decided that it's time to buy a van, so that's what we did yesterday.  We drove to Calgary in the afternoon and found a great van for us, a Mazda MPV, Spence is so excited and so is Kali.  We are van people!

We were able to stay with Spencer's Aunt and Uncle in SE Calgary, which was so fun.  Kali had a great time with Aunt Peggy and Bradley (Spencer's cousin), she just loves people.  We had a great visit, Aunt Peggy and Uncle Kevin feel like friends to us, we just have such a great time with them.

One of the best parts was that the Lord blessed me not to go into labour on the highway or in Calgary.  We prayed like crazy and I really feel like the Lord answered our prayers, He really does love me.  Now that we're home it can happen at anytime.  But I will wait patiently.

Another enjoyment for me this weekend is that today 10 years ago Spencer and I started dating.  I remember the day like it was yesterday.  We spent the day together in Salt Lake City after not seeing each other for almost 3 years.  We went to a session of conference, and snuggled all day, it was like magic and we fell in love.  So our yearly tradition is going out for a rice bowl to commemorate the one we shared in the food court of the mall across the street from Temple Square.  We have evolved a bit, but our dinner usually involves some kind of rice, and we don't have to share anymore.  Tonight we went to a Vietnamese restaurant with Kali and told her about that day 10 years ago.  I can't believe what a miracle and a blessing Spence has been in my life, I love him like crazy, he is my rock!
