Church, Home Life

Back to Church Roots… Palmyra

After we visited Kirtland (see previous post), we drove to Palmyra where we stayed at the new and beautiful Palmyra Inn (two thumbs up if you go there and need a place to stay).  Today we saw the sites around Kirtland (the Hill Cumorah, the Grandin Building, the Sacred Grove, the first log cabin, the […]

Visit to Kirtland

Well, spring break is here and as is typical of the Halliday family, we decided to do a road trip!  Our destination:  LDS Church sites in Kirtland, OH and Palmyra, NY!  Yesterday we drove the 6 1/2 hours to Kirtland, visited the John Johnson Farm (in Hiram, OH), and today enjoyed the sites in Kirtland.

Poor Benjamin Got Stitches!

Just after Benjamin turned 1, he was weeble-wobbling around (his version of walking), fell, and hit his head on the corner of Sarah’s bed.  He now has 5 stitches right on the edge of his right eyebrow.  Ouch! Sarah felt horrible and freaked out at all the blood running down his face when she picked
