Rose took her first steps today! This morning we were at the daycare at the Gym (I work there once a week for a few hours to get a "free" membership) and when I was talking to one of the other workers she took three steps across room- by-her-self! The other girl and I stopped talking and looked at each other in disbelief and then broke out in a cheer. Rose walked a few more times before we left and has been doing it off and on all afternoon! It is so adorable to see her take her wobbly little steps.
Yippee for my little, getting bigger than I'd like, girl!

I am a stranger but I think we may need to become great friends. I'm not a blogging expert (as I've never actually posted on mine before) and I don't know all the rules on commenting, etc.--like I realize I'm commenting on your daughter walking (congratulations, by the way!)as it was the most recent post, but I'm actually commenting on many of your other posts. And since I can't possibly share all of my thoughts in one sitting (my kids would miss me for that long) and will need to expound on many individual posts, I'll just give an introduction. I graduated from BYU as an RN. I've worked some but am mostly an at home mom of three little ones. Someday I'd like to get my masters degree and be a midwife. I've worked with our local lactation consultant to help mothers with breastfeeding and my husband and I used hypnobirthing to get our three babbies here naturally. We live in a town with only one midwife and one lactaction consultant, but thank goodness we at least have them. Now on to the other reasons we may need to become great friends. I happened upon your "Women in the Scriptures" blog first and linked to this one, Birth Faith (fabulous!) and Ask Jane (also fabulous!). I have to say that you are an absolute angel for creating the Women in the Scriptures blog. I recognized some themes from Alma Don Sorenson and Valerie Hudson Casslers book "Women in Eternity, Women of Zion" which is fabulous if you haven't read it. The two trees was new. I was actually searcing for the transcript of her most recent presentation at the April 2010 FAIR conf. by that title when I found your blog. I've coresponded with Valerie by email on occasion as I am a fully active LDS woman who is searching for greater light and knowledge concerning my place as a woman in God's kingdom. I've researched at length and am still researching and reading in my few spare moments a day while trying to balance my research with application to my daily mothering responsibilities. Oh, I'm so excited to discuss insights I have about so many of the women and topics you write about. Like I said, you are an ABSOLUTE ANGEL for creating this site and sharing your brilliant and timely thoughts.
The Richardsons,
How wonderful to "meet" you! I think one of the best parts of blogging is making new friends. Thanks so much for your kind words. It means A LOT to me to know that some of what I right helps someone in a little way. If you find Valerie Hudson's transcript you will have to forward it to me. I LOVE that woman. My copy of "Women in Eternity, Women of Zion" is so highlighted up that you can hardly read it anymore :) Stay in contact I hope we can become better friends!
Thank you for your reply. I have't found Valerie's "Two Trees" transcript yet, but she does post alot to the "Square Two" online journal about LDS marriage and gender issues. I thought you might like this article "The Sacrament of Birth" by Analiesa Leonhardt from that journal. Check it out here. http://squaretwo.org/Sq2ArticleLeonhardtBirth.html.
Your birth stories are beautiful and, ironically, Heather Johnson was my midwife for the birth of my first child before we moved from Utah.
Sorry, I cut the link to the article short. Here is is: http://squaretwo.org/Sq2ArticleLeonhardtBirth.html
OK last try. After Leonard it should have "tBirth.html". Sorry it's required multiple attempts. I swear I'm not crazy. It's just a really good article and I'm not a blogging expert so I seem to keep messing it up.

Congratulations on Rose! Of course I'd love to share the recipe for marinated vegetables.In fact, now that you mention it I really feel like making some myself!
8 cups chopped vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, red or yellow onion, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, cucumber, or whatever you have around
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp salt
Put the vegetables in a gallon-size ziplock bag. Combine sugar, vinegar, celery seed, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves; pour over vegetables. Seal bag and shake to coat. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight, turning bag every once in awhile. Veggies will keep several days in the fridge. Serve cold.
