"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Oh, the trust I have in his father...

Anyone have a helmet?

Yesterday was exactly 1 week after Nora getting her stitches out. I decided I wanted to take a picture every week so I could see the progress of her scar. I've been putting frankincense essential oil on a few times a day, so I wanted to see how much it helped. So I took this.


How adorable is that cute little smile?! She has squinty eyes like me. But Corey's teeth. 


But, we all know how accident-prone my 1 year old is. So right before dinner, when she woke up from a nap, I had to take these.



By the end of the day, she's always pulled her out, or it fell out while she was sleeping, and it's a royal mess. Plus, she's crazy.


She face planted, well forehead planted, right on the parking lot outside. Poor girl. We need a yard. With grass. Not asphalt.

So, anyone have a helmet I could put on Nora? We officially can't go anywhere without a helmet and football pads.

Me: Nathan, what are you doing?
N: Just spinning.
(yes, that is a tampon)

Fireworks





Stitches
 The fireplace is not a forehead's friend.

No more stitches
