“Use things, not people. Love people, not things.” I’ve had this maxim running around in my head for a week now. I used to keep it on a 3X5 card in my scriptures during my mission in Nauvoo.


During a cerebral self-examination of why I am having such a hard time leaving Virginia, I came to this not-so-staggering conclusion. It’s simple. I am most sad to leave the people we love.
So here are some pictures recently taken of a few of those special people we love. Lisa (Eliza’s Nursery leader) Lori (favorite babysitter!) Auntie Pat (in Eliza’s favorite playroom), Mickey (thank you for lunch Mickey and the sweet gifts for the girls!), Eliza’s friends Ben (at Cox Farms), Caroline (dress-ups on) Glori Sue, and “Miss Soozi” (our outing to the park was great fun Soozi! Thank you! That evening Eliza devoured an entire bowl of raspberries from your farm. Yum!)

Five children in four years, including two sets of twins, brought new meaning to Mary Oliver's earnest question. Our little people aren't so little anymore, but life is still wild, still precious. And this is my meager attempt to hold on, make it last. I love Doug, running, hiking in the mountains, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, the edge of an ocean, and connecting with you here. So happy to have you along.

    I am still missing all of our friends from Connecticut and it’s been about 2 1/2 months, it’s quite the adjustment! But I must say, we are so EXCITED to have you guys here too, Abi keeps asking to play with Eliza.
