A Blessing

Yesterday we were able to bless Darla at my parents house in Salt Lake. There we 35+ people there that love her. What a blessing. We loved being with both of our families and friends. It was such a beautiful day, and she was calm and as beautiful as could be in her white dress. It was one of those moments for me where I actually kind of felt like I was growing up. I have attended so many baby blessings in my life, and yesterday it was my turn; our turn. I cannot believe that Darla is already two months old. It truly has been the quickest, yet longest two months of my life. Time is such a strange aspect of this life. I have always been facinated by it. My time as a mom though has created some of my happiest moments. I love being a mom to this little girl. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect dolly to carry with me where ever I go. . . whether that be in my arms, or in my heart.

Just downloaded...couldn't help it!

She is beautiful, that's all there is to it. Our little Darla Anne couldn't be more precious.

Blogging World

I can't believe I finally let people know Erik and I have a blog. I have mixed feelings about blogs. The other night, I sat here at the computer skipping from blog to blog getting caught up on the lives of people I know - seeing pictures, movies, paintings, and reading about what is going on in their lives. It was strange after I was through, or decided to stop I should say, because I was completely caught up without talking to, or seeing any of those people. I didn't really like that feeling. Those people had no idea that I had visited their sites and read/look at all their posts. This is why I am hesitant to post my blog to the public. I want to so I can quickly share photos and stories of Darla, but I don't like the idea that people can just go to my blog to get the updates or details instead of calling or even getting together for lunch. Does anyone else feel this way? It's just one more technological creation that is taking away the person to person interaction. May be one day we will all communicate through blogs only. No need to call, no need to stop by...just look at my blog.

This is kind of funny though that I am writing this...on my blog. I know I have one, but that is why I keep debating whether or not to tell people "go look at my blog."

Just some thoughts about the blogging world.

Simply...

With Darla as part of our lives now, we are learning more than we ever thought possible. I believe she is teaching us more than we will ever be able to teach her. We are now beginning to understand what patient means, as well as love, gentleness, and joy. She is the joy in our life. Just holding her helps us realize what this life is.
