enlightened




As I was scrolling though the photos of our month long trip to Utah . . . these were the two that depicted our trip the best. Darla was all smiles the whole time - her face full of light and learning as she watched and played with her cousins, grandparents, aunt and uncles. She was enlightened by the interactions - the relationships.
Bennett was surrounded by people (babies) his age. Everywhere you'd look all day/night long there were babies. His face was full of light and learning as he watched and sat by his cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles. He was enlightened by the interactions - the relationships.
Erik and I were thrilled to have a break - so many helping hands and enjoyable outings. Wonderful time together. Once again - I repeat myself because it's true - we were enlightened by the interactions (the family discussions, the Spirit, the dinners, the evenings bouncing babies, the treats, the laughter, the reunions, the humbling moments, the music etc). I am changed for good.
