Awesome Quote

Last night while reading my scriptures (trying to stick with one of my New Years resolutions) I came across a quote from Joseph B. Worthlin that I found to be a great encouragement for me to continue one of my other resolutions of doing simple acts of kindness for people...

Sometimes the greatest love is not found in the dramatic scenes that poets and writers immortalize. Often, the greatest manifestations of love are the simple acts of kindness and caring we extend to those we meet along the path of life. True love lasts forever. It is eternally patient and forgiving. It believes, hopes, and endures all things. That is the love our Heavenly Father bears for us.

Moroni 7:47

I hope that all of us can manifest our love for those we meet throughout our life by being kind, patient and forgiving, just as our Heavenly Father is to us!

Whats been happening at the Miller place...

If you read my earlier post you'd know that one of my New Year resolutions is to "Sew something"...so here it is, my first sewing project since Jr. High! It's a good thing you can't see it close up, but I had so much fun I think I want to make another.

Since Brooklyn's neck has been getting stronger we've been trying her in her Bumbo. She likes it for a few minutes and then is done with it (I think cause her neck get's tired), but it's a good way to get her to sit up for a bit after she eats while her food is settling.

She loves her papa.
Last week we went to our friends, Chad and Cristel's house to visit and have dinner. We were so excited to introduce Brooklyn and Kaleb, who are 4 weeks apart. I think they hit it off pretty well, already holding hands! Haha Aren't they cute! (Sorry the picture is blurry.)
She loves her swing......sometimes
Last Monday my parents and brother Wes came over to watch Brooklyn while Brett and I went and got messages. This is how we found her when we came home. Funny girl!
There you have it, a few random happenings in our life lately.

Brooklyn's Blessing Day

We had Brooklyn blessed yesterday and Brett gave her a beautiful blessing. What a special day for her to be given a name and a blessing that will help her throughout her life here on this earth. Here are some pictures, they are sort of redundant, but I couldn't decide between any of them...

New Year Resolutions

This year my New Year Resolutions are:

• Study my scriptures more often
• Look for opportunities to do random acts of service for people I know as well as strangers
• Sew some things
• Eat less refined sugar (the average person consumes 150 lbs of sugar a year...thats just sick and wrong!)
