3, 4, and 5

Between getting sick on our last day in Kansas and traveling, I'm catching up with the 28 things I love post: 

3: Grandparents. 

The first night we were home, I cried as I remembered how excited I used to get as a little girl to visit my grandparents. I treasure my memories with the ones that have passed on and I call my Grandma Pav at least a couple of times a month! Now here I am taking my baby to hang out with my parents. In true grandparent fashion, they spoiled Eli all week. We love them. Just wish we lived closer to them. Maybe someday. How blessed we are to live close to the Volks right now!

We're reading the Book of Mormon every day this year as as family. {We follow bofm365 on Instagram and they post the scripture reading for the day so we can finish in 365 days.} For Christmas, my sister's family gave us the Book of Mormon for the Latter-day Saint Families and we love reading it together. Every time I start the Book of Mormon again, my faith is strengthened and I have a greater desire to follow the example of our Savior. 



5: Airplanes

Isn't it incredible how we can get anywhere in the world on an airplane? When we arrived in the Wichita airport yesterday, I was puzzled if it was a blessing or if we were idiots for being one of three flights leaving yesterday morning during the "Wichita Whiteout" as the news anchor called it. We were extra grateful we made it to Maryland safely and that my parents made it home from the airport safely too!


Anyway, I hope your 5 days of February have already been filled with lots of love!
XOXO

I've been reading all of these on Feedly, so I haven't had a chance to comment, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea. What a wonderful idea to record the things you love during the month of February. You may see one or two posts from me, writing about things I love. I'll be sure to mention I got the idea from you :)

The pics of the grandparents with Eli are precious! Visiting Grandma Pav as a child was the great. Remember how she always put hot tea jugs in bed with us to keep our feet warm?! And told us long stories before we went to bed? She is the best.

Yes! She is the best! Thanks for all your comments, Sam! I've tried to figure out how to reply and I guess I can do it on my phone. Hope this works! :)
