the three grandkids!!
it is good to be home after 3 weeks in utah.
there is just something about the daily grind of dirty diapers, leaky sippy cups, soiled burp clothes, and goldfish crumbs in the carpet that i love. seriously. it is my busy and sometimes chaotic life as a wife and a mom that has helped me get through these last few months.
my favorite part of our trip to utah was my nephew porter. actually, it was seeing my sister-in-law, kamber, taking care of porter. i am so impressed with her strength, as she finished her last semester and graduates in may, as she loves and nurtures porter as a single mom, and as she mourns the loss of her eternal companion. i am continually amazed by this woman who dallin chose to marry. they are perfectly matched. i know dallin is proud of the way kamber is raising their son and how she is handling everything being thrown at her. she is an example to me of extreme faith and understanding. i love you kamber!
multitasking!
sound asleep and so peaceful
love this face
cousins - exactly 4 weeks apart
i love this little boy so much! at times it's hard for me to hold him. it makes me so sad that dallin isn't here to watch porter - to see his enormous smile and watch him kick like a maniac when he gets in the tub, or to help kamber in those hard moments when he is hard to console and she just needs a break. but i know that Heavenly Father prepares us for what is to come. porter brightens up kamber's life just as he does mine and everyone else's he comes in contact with. he is a blessing and is the next best thing to having dallin with us. we continue to have hard days, but we have good ones also.
and this boy's smile, makes them good ones!

I was sad we didn't get to see you while you were here, but I know you were busy loving your family. I'm glad you are having some good days - even if they seem few and far between.
Porter looks just like Dallin, I love it. I can hardly wait to meet up with Kamber after she gets back from AZ.
Know we are thinking of you all, especially this Christmas.
Love you.
