Easter Blessings!

Luckily I was prepared in advance for Easter so when our sweet little boy arrived a couple days before all the fun, it wasn't too overwhelming.
My parents came down for the long weekend and we enjoyed our time together. Painting eggs, filling easter baskets, enjoying the beautiful spring weather and most of all giving thanks for our Savior. For his love, the giving of his life, and the gift of the atonement and resurrection. I do not think it a coincidence that we celebrate Easter during the season of --SPRING-- where new life is restored to all things waking from winter slumber.
i am so grateful for the new life I can have as I rely on my Savior Jesus Christ. Each day can be new because of the gift of the atonement.
So I give thanks for Easter Blessings. . . .and for the new life that has joined our family, our sweet Seth David Boehme and the new adventures of every day with Will, Maddison, Ethan and Emma!

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

A few pictures for our Idaho friends of Southern Alberta. more wide open spaces wheat field and rainbow The Boehme farm....where we now live The Boehme Farm...at sunset *We moved home to Lethbridge, Alberta Canada on 08.02.2008!* We loaded up the UHAUL on Friday, Aug. 1st, and did all the cleaning in one evening. Thank you to each of you for your help with that crazy day! No one can move on their own and we felt so blessed for all the hands that helped in so many ways. We stayed at the Campbells home overnight (thanks guys for all the memories) and then got up the next morning and were on our way by 9:00am. The trip was long and tiring, but as we crossed the border into Canada I was filled with a wonderful peaceful feeling that the timing was right and that after 5 years of being away. . .we were home to stay.
