This weekend was our church’s General Conference! I heard someone recently describe it as “self-improvement television”, which is a pretty neat way to explain it to anyone who hasn’t heard of it before. There were so many uplifting talks, and one of the recurring themes was “service to our fellow men”. Serving others can help us find joy and develop a closer relationship with God. (I’m finding that motherhood is kind of like one GIANT act of service, but I hope that I can look for ways to help other people, too).

So because church didn’t start until noon, we got to “sleep in” a little. After you have a baby, the definition of sleeping in definitely changes!

While Michael went to the priesthood session of Conference on Saturday night, Baby Bird and I got snuggly on the couch. We even listened to some classical Christmas music (I know, I know, some of you reading this are shaking your heads, since it isn’t even Halloween yet)! In my defense, Kaya LOVES instrumental music and will usually calm down pretty quickly when she hears it. So… why NOT use it as excuse to celebrate my favorite time of year a little early?

Kaya also had her regular tummy-time… and rolled herself over again! She has done it four times now. We might have to start baby-proofing sooner than we think!

We even got to visit with our friends, play Blokus, and bake cookies!
