Fried little fish

Remember when I told you I would post some pictures of Lottie popping little fried fishy?? Well here are 2 for your viewing pleasure! I have other pictures from the summer that I want to share- sorry for my absence! Hoping to have them up next week!

Accepting yourself

"We receive mixed messages today that self-love and a sense of self-worth are forms of selfishness and conceit. However, I know from my own experience that when I don't fully accept myself and all of my warts, blemishes, and imperfections, I am crippled in my charity toward God and my neighbors. Let me encourage you not to feel guilty as you aspire to appropriate self-love, which comes in part by honest self-knowledge and acceptance."
—Jeffrey R. Holland, On Earth As It Is in Heaven

Time well spent

Our vacation has been GREAT! So great infact that I am still on vacation (Gio went home last week... someone has to work, sorry Giovi!)!
We spent a few weeks in Sicily with Gio's family and after a short day in Milan to change out some of the luggage we flew State side and have been here for a little over 3 weeks. We took a few days to visit some friends in Saramento, CA and one week in Lake Powell with my family! The in between times full of movies, pool trips and visits with loved ones! I don't know when I will get any pictures posted, but for now I am enjoying family and our time here!
