Daily Bread

Life is so busy, I haven't had a moment to breathe, but right now the kids are napping, Ty's track meet just got cancelled for rain, and i have an unexpected bit of afternoon that opened up for me. What a gift!

So i've been working on preparing my lesson for the Beehives this Sunday, and I watched this wonderful video clip called, "Daily Bread." I wanted to share it. It echoes the feelings of my heart right now. Click below to view it:

So much catching up to do…Our house is finally on the market, and we had our first showing today, with an open house scheduled for Saturday. If you'd like to view the slideshow, here is a link: If you'd like to buy our house, please call us. I'm sure we can work out a mutually beneficial agreement :)

Tyler's last day at Ecolab is tomorrow, and he starts his new job as a Foreign Commercial Officer out in Washington D.C. on May 19th. He will be released as Bishop of the Hudson Ward this Sunday, on Mother's Day. Is that my Mother's Day gift? Maybe :) We have been so blessed by his service that I am truly sad that it is coming to an end.

We will receive our assignment where we will be moving to on June 10th, and then we are expected to be moved there by mid- to end-of-July. There are so many details that I want to know right now so I can plan and prepare, but I am instead learning to take one day at a time, and to ask for my daily bread each day.

So my daily bread today was to be able to clean the house and teach joy school and get out of the house by 12:15. Well, at 12:13 i had all of my laundry and kids loaded up in the car with me, pulling out of the driveway, with the house all spotless for our showing. Daily bread indeed.

And now, for the grandparents…photos!

 Kalia and Miya love play-doh

 Ty is officially taller than me. Even in our profiles you can catch a glimpse of how each of us feel about that :) My kids are growing up way too fast!

 Kalia loves reclining. She stayed in her baby carrier until she was 18 months. Not because she didn't weigh enough to move her up, but because my other carseat broke and I refused to buy yet another one. We just waited until we could bump Miya up to a booster, and now Kalia is riding in style again.

 Kalia, Garrett and Miya washing windows as we prepped the house for the market. Not sure how effective that was because as soon as they washed one, Kalia came by and remarked them all. Oh well, I figure it wasn't a total loss because at least they are learning how to work, right?

 Shayla for wacky hair day. She looked like she belonged in Jamaica. She probably wished she were there, too, with the cold spring we've had.

 Garrett's pinewood derby car. It was nicknamed the money car, because since it wasn't heavy enough he glued a silver dollar and a few quarters and pennies to it. It was a beauty!

Grant cleaning out the crumbs between the leaves of the table, more prep for home selling.
