Sophia Met Auntie Ahna today! My dear sister has FINALLY moved back to Utah from Boise, which was way too far from us! Spent the day with her and Uncle Stephen and Cousin Emmalie today :-)
Sophia and I arriving-love the feeling of my baby sleeping on my shoulder!!!

Max pretending to be a dump truck. Super Adorable! (don't try to play it, it's a screenshot of a video.)
Every day since Sophia was born has been difficult. But I am trying so diligently, in the middle of these hard times, to soak in my kids. Trying to soak in Sophia because she's only going to be here for a short time. Trying to soak in Max because one day he'll be my baby. And Sarah because one day she'll be my only girl. And Michael because he made me a mother and he's growing too fast. Every day I try to look them in their eyes and have a moment to connect with them. Often I wish I could freeze time. Freeze our family just like this. With all of our kids living under our roof. Mason is going off to college in the fall and Jonah on a mission. And then when Sophia is gone Max will be the only one at our house every other weekend and holiday. Jason says we are jumping into the deep end. I have to admit, it's not what I want. But life isn't always fair I guess, and we have to figure out how to be okay with that.
I have this idea of a picture project I want to do with my kids' blue eyes...I'll show you if it turns out.
Tonight Michael found sparklers in the pantry and asked if we could light them and I was like....what the heck....
Sophia Today :-)
