Family prayer is the highlight of my day.
"Please bless Jesus to help Alice fell better"
This girl said the most beautiful prayer tonight. We have a neighbor (and friend) who is in the care of hospice right now and not doing so well. Our friend Alice has sat by us at church for the last couple years, she is an amazing woman and a wonderful example to me. I used to report my visiting teaching to her. I watched her for years attend the temple weekly with her friend in the ward who doesn't even speak English. It's hard to think about the circle of life and facts of aging. But I'm grateful for the plan of Salvation and the knowledge I have of Life after death. It makes difficult situations like this easy to talk to my children about. Their sweet little innocent minds can grasp this concept surprisingly well.
Callie is turning into quite the little fish! She loves to swim and is learning to come up for air mid-swim. Despite her extremely stubborn personality she can really tug at the heart strings. She is obsessed with clothes (and changing her own outfit at least 20 times a day.) She is really generous with the compliments, especially regarding clothing choices and cracks me up with her compliments. "Mom I really like your shirt or mom your swim suit matches me!" The other day she wanted a drink of milk "Mom would you get me a drink of milk pleeeeease, Gorgeous." LOL
She is still the biggest Daddy's Girl EVER and I love it! (I especially love this fact at 2am. Hehe!)
I love her and can't imagine life with out her.
