"In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." President Gordon B. Hinckley

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will--to your surprise--miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

A Labor of Love

November 20, 2009
3:50 p.m.
Ava Mae Jacobs came to us, and our lives will never be the same.
7 lbs. 11 oz.
19 1/4 inches
November 20, 2009, will forever be engraved in my memory. It was the most spiritual experience of my life. Dereck and I were in the hospital room at St. Mark's alone most of the day listening to inspiring music and anticipating the birth of our daughter. The connection between heaven and earth was undeniable. I am so thankful to Heavenly Father for allowing me to feel what I felt and to experience this joyful birth.


Ava is the sweetest little angel. This is still her favorite spot to be and is so easily consoled when she is near her Mama. I love you, my sweet Miss Mae. Thank you for bringing your love and purity to our home.
