Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

My Reader



Meredith loves to read. I have to read a book many, many times before we can go on to something else (typically another book). Emily did this about the same age. It's so cute. Meredith comes to me with a book and says "book, book", so I take the book. Then she says "up, up", so I pick her up. Then we start to read the book. If I say "the end" to early (even after we've read the whole book and I get to the last page and say "the end") she cries. But, I love to be able to hold my baby and read to her. It's the best way to get her to hold still.
