It's A Girl!

Our new little niece arrived Sunday and oh is she irresistible! I could hardly get Kenna out of the hospital :)

Growth

So far so good with our little square foot gardening adventure. These cute little radishes poked their head up the other day - I can't even stand how cute they are!

Our onions, lettuce and carrots have also sprouted. It's fun to see the kids enthusiasm and we enjoy checking each box for new growth.

Life is busy and I feel this is a pretty boring and uneventful post ;)  But as I have thought about growth, I thought a bit about personal growth.  My new church calling has made me grow in many ways.  I grow as I spend time with these great women I serve with.  I have grown in the many amazing opportunities I have had to serve others.  I have grown as I have had to lean and rely more on my Heavenly Father.
I wish I could add a patience plant to my little garden.  It is something lately I wish I could "grow" more of.   I bet it would grow well by the zuchinni.
