farewell, Elder Morrison

We were so lucky to see Elder Brady Morrison during his layover at DFW airport! It was wonderful to visit a bit. Best of luck to him as he preaches the gospel in Brazil!

a day in the gardens

We enjoyed a wonderful day at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens with Aunt Ceci (also our talented photographer). The girls also enjoyed a day here with Grandma Rena. We couldn't have asked for better weather: clear, sunny skies and only 83 degrees. I couldve posted 100+ pics everything was so beautiful!

six years and counting!

For our 6-year anniversary, David surprised me with a night away (kid-free, thanks to Aunt Cecilia and Grandma Rena!) at a hotel, with a nice dinner and a pedicure the following day. Wow, has it been 6 years? What a wild ride!
