Not much to say about Valentine’s Day this year. The kids enjoyed their school parties and receiving and giving Valentines to classmates. I was delighted and quite surprised when Proflowers showed up at the door with a box for me. That Jimmy certainly surprised me. Thanks babe for the kind thought & action. Hannah didn’t […]
I hope my thoughts this week don’t seem too discouraged. It’s just that so many around me have hard things. I keep hoping that things will ease up for others. Jimmy commented the other day that it was perhaps called LONG-suffering for a reason… it’s often LONG. The hymn sung at the World Wide Training […]
I’m afraid I was kind of a poo-poo about Valentine Cards this year. Hannah found all sorts of glorious ideas online that she wanted to do. They required going to the craft store and I wasn’t up for all that jazz this week. I convinced the kids to do homemade digital and they could help […]
My friend Beth has this on her instant message status. It makes me smile every time I read it. Yes – so true. If I appreciate where I’m at, enjoy the moments, have faith: that is the water that keeps the grass green right here in my present stage of life. A needful thought this […]
I’m sorry, but Max was just too funny this week. (well… and he sure cried a lot this week… but we’ll focus on the positive – eh). This is what he said as we drove to Hannah’s basketball game this morning. It’s a follow-up from his “Toomario the sun might come out” statement. I’m glad […]
today i called max sweetie. “i am not sweetie.” then he continues and says this: This is combo of all he said. Cute boy.
you know… i love max. well, i definitely love all my kids, but i do think 4-year-olds are about the funniest people on the planet because they are still so innocent. so yesterday we drove zuzu to the doctor. on the drive, max said this: i love that he calls TOMORROW = toomario. Too much […]
I’m learning daily about Charity, especially in this calling as R.S. President. I’m realizing that there are so many things I learn that don’t come from the handbook, from the Bishop, from Jimmy, from the sisters … I learn it from experience… through the Holy Ghost. Last night I learned to be more aware and […]
this is the kind of stuff i work on when i am up with lizzy in the still of the night.this one is for max. sometimes when he is sad & thinks a task at hand is too hard (like eating a bite of that icky dinner), the family starts cheering for max: “you can […]
This is not nearly as exciting to others, but little Eliza finally showed her tooth… and it happened to be right when I was taking a picture. See that wee little tooth on the bottom right. Are you dying about the bow? Ok – sorry ’bout that ‘Liza. I gave it a try, but it’s […]
