I LOVE our blog!
Okay...here it is.
I love my blog.
I used to be a pretty darn good journal writer.
Then we had kids.
Somehow there has been much less down time since then.
In church today we were talking about journal writing...
They asked if there were any journal writers in the group.
I thought for a minute, wishing I was as good of a journal writer as I used to be, then I realized...I am BETTER now!!!
My blog is my journal...my journal with pictures.
I love it.
And plan to get it all in print, one day.
I have two already, one in the works, and haven't even started this years.
But it is all there, all recorded.
But I will say, you might see me writing a few more things about how I am feeling instead of just what we are doing that day.
ANYWAY...
Today was our Primary program in church.
It was absolutely beautiful.
There is nothing that brings the spirit to my heart like those sweet little voices singing those heavenly songs.
It was so fun to watch my two oldest and how VASTLY different the two are.
Madi is our perfectionist.
Madi does not want to sing the wrong word, or do the wrong thing, so she is very mellow up there, very quiet. But she still sings.
Cassi, on the other hand, could care less what others thought of her.
Cassi spent a good part of her time in her own little world....but all the time singing as loud as she can, usually the right words.
Madi sits quietly, sings when it's her turn, reverently watching and listening during the rest of the program....
We watched Cassi at one point, picking her nose...no not picking, digging is more like it.
Oh my goodness...I tried so hard to get her attention, but as I said before, Cassi is in her own world at times...and there was no stopping her.
All we could do was laugh.
Oh and I laughed.
My only comfort was that I ASSUMED everyone would be watching their own kid...not the one picking her nose!
Oh man, the memories!
I love that kid and that she is comfortable with her and who she is.
I just wish we could get her to stop picking her nose!
But the program was beautiful.
I had tears in my eyes and I was touched by the music and the words that were spoken.
It was a very good Sunday.
Then this evening we got to go spend some time with our most favorite people, the Youngs.
Braelyn turned 4 today!
Happy Birthday Brae!

Blogs are marvelous journals!

Our 1st and 2nd born children are very much a like as well. Maybe it's typical, but they are so different sometimes that it is funny that they can even come from the same parents! Thanks for sharing your journal/ blog with all of us. You inspire me to be better in so many ways! Love you!

I LOVE that picture of the girls! They are so pretty! That is hilarious about Cassi picking her nose hehe. I bet there were more kids picking their nose that you just didn't notice.

I love my blog too, I think that it is better than a journal because it has pictures. I really need to catch up my blog...
