Christmas Pictures

 When you take note that this holiday season is going to be our last one with all 3 kids together for a period of almost 3 years, you want to capture every small moment you can. Kaitlyn is headed to her mission in January and Christian will begin his paperwork shortly thereafter to start a mission in June. Pictures of the kids used to be something I was consistent with and tried really hard to have them taken as often as possible but as years go by and kids grow up, schedules change, life happens, and well...I am not as good at is as I used to be. But that didn't stop my desire and so I got with Kayla again and scheduled these three for one last Christmas shoot for now.

Some of my favorites but mostly because they capture each of the kids individually. Kaitlyn is a terrific older sister and both Christian and Brooklyn love her very much. She is so protective of these two and I am so grateful for the relationships they each have with one another. Their love for one another is what will make this time apart 'do able'. 

Xoxo,

Missionary Momma

Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
