The Plan

Here are some photos of our new little girl.

Sleeping

Our little firecracker! Nothing fits this little girl.

Grandma teaching me how to give her a bath. So cute in her hooded towel!

This may be a common pose for newborns, but she looks so cute doing it!

Grandma and Grandpa Hakes. Grandpa Hakes was a surprise visit! I loved having them visit. Mom and I got our toenails done. It was so nice to do something together.

Sleepy Heads

Also, I heard this song today by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It made me think of the plan of salvation and how beautiful it is. Below are the lyrics.

In the quiet misty morning When the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing And the sky is clear and red,

When the summer's ceased its gleaming When the corn is past its prime, When adventure's lost its meaning - I'll be homeward bound in time

Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow Set me free to find my calling And I'll return to you somehow

If you find it's me you're missing If you're hoping I'll return, To your thoughts I'll soon be listening, In the road I'll stop and turn

Then the wind will set me racing As my journey nears its end And the path I'll be retracing When I'm homeward bound again

Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow Set me free to find my calling And I'll return to you somehow

(softly) In the quiet misty morning When the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing I'll be homeward bound in time
