These are the Days!

We are loving every day with our family! With each second Alina gets bigger and learns something new. Lately, some of her new quests are learning to eat with a spoon and figuring out how to drink from a cup. Fortunately, Alina isn't afraid of getting dirty and she has a total affinity for water!
We had the opportunity to go through the Draper Temple Open House last week and are so glad that we did this as a family. It was Alina's first time through a temple and she loved it, despite it being past her bed time! She especially loves the chandeliers and saying hello to all the people. Christian and I were so grateful for yet another reminder of what it's all about. We love our family and want Alina to know how important the temple is in our lives.


We also got to attend the Draper Dedication and we had Stake Conference this weekend. How wonderful it is to hear the words of a prophet and hear eternal truths taught for hours over only two days! We love the temple, we love the Prophet and his Apostles! We're so glad that we had these opportunities to be rejuvenated and grow closer to the Lord. Our focus is unified on those things of eternal significance though the world around us is noisy and seeks to distract us from what matters. May we all remember to build our lives on the firm foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ that we will not fall.

Oh MO you are such a strength to me even though you are miles away! You have such a strong testimony and I love to hear it. I so wish we were there to experience those wonderful things too. Take advantage of it as much as you can because you will miss it...I know I do! And oh my gosh...Alina is so big and so BEAUTIFUL! I love her blond hair and she looks so grown up. I am so happy to finally see a picture of her but at the same time sad to know that I have missed sooo much! I loved talking to you on the phone and catching up. It felt like old times. Lots of love and hugs from the Bingham fam!
