Our First Spring Break With Bella

I don't think I understood how much planning goes into a family vacation. I have new respect for my parents! This past weekend our family went to St. George for Spring Break with the Stark family. The weather was wonderful, hanging out with family was awesome, and we had a blast! Packing for the trip was one story and getting there was another. . . I always knew that taking children on vacations required extra room for packing. However, with all the items needed for our new baby, we were able to fill the trunk and back seat of our trusty Corolla! Holy Cow! We had to bring so many things! Not only that, but we had to bring extra clothes for Isabella's everyday "blowout" occurrence. Although I am being an antagonist about the organization that went into the trip, we had fun. This last weekend was also Isabella's first Easter. Having her in our lives really made me think about Christ's resurrection. I know that I am a child of God, and that Christ was resurrected for me, but looking at my new baby I can understand the unconditional love our Father in Heaven has for us. Words can't describe how special Isabella is to me, I know that Heavenly Father has a wonderful plan for her, and that she was meant to be in our family. Sharing such a special holiday with her was spiritually uplifting, I can only imagine how meaningful this holiday will be when she understands. Love, Dannielle
