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.

Swing

I have another post! I'm sure if anyone is reading this they realize that I always have a new post. Well, it's fun. But more than that, this blog has in a way replaced my journal. It just hits more birds with one stone and it's fun, and it's fun to have pictures with the journal, and it even has a hint of scrapbooking to it. I also made the mistake of not journaling enough when Emily was Meredith's age. I got better and better as time went by, but it is still never enough. I have a pretty horrible memory. I think most people do. People remember a lot of something but spend so much time remembering the one thing that they forget the others. Anyhow, that's my excuse for blogging so much. I still keep a journal for some of the more "personal stuff". The labels are fun to use too. I can find the stuff I want to look at quickly. I can click on milestones and find all of that stuff. In my journal I was using stars and hearts. One for one girl and one for the other. This labeling stuff on blogger is a little nicer :) They grow up so fast I want to record all of the memories I possibly can.

Anyhow...

For Family Home Evening we put up our swing. We bought it on Saturday for a family outing and then Nathan went to get the hardware on Monday and then set it up. The girls couldn't wait. They stared at him the whole time.


Emily in the swing

Meredith in the swing. (Learning to take turns is hard :)

And last. A video. Turn down the volume (the girls were very excited and loud). Emily wanted to push Meredith in the swing, and Meredith was squealing she was having so much fun.
