Stayin' Busy

It's another testing week and I'm trying to stay busy while Birch studies. He was down-in-bed sick for two weeks and has since been catching up on school, so I've had lots of time to myself.

I brought out my sewing machine and made a nursing cover. Thanks Kat, for getting me some great girl time and sewing practice! If you're interested in making one, here is a link with directions for how to sew it. It's easy and fast!

(I guess the link wasn't very obvious, so here you go)

I was also flipping through old Ensigns and found the sheet music to "This is the Christ." It's one of my favorite songs about the Savior. I've been practicing it on the piano and found a video of it on YouTube.



Trevor and I have been to many library storytimes--gotta love the free entertainment. I asked the librarian what books would be appropriate for him right now since he's lost interest in board books but can't follow the plot of most picture books. (I know, nerdy used-t0-be-a-teacher mom that talks to the librarian). She suggested a link on our library's website that lists appropriate books for toddlers. Many were already familiar but he has also liked every other book I have checked out from the list:
