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.

Busy Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend was very busy. With Thanksgiving, 20 lbs of potatoes to make (thank heaven for all the help), my Mom's Birthday, my sister going through the temple, and a Bridal Shower, dealing with one sick kid and my own cold and losing my voice for the bridal shower there wasn't a slow moment to be had.

My sister Miranda looked after the girls while Nathan and I went to the temple. It was nice to be with my sister. The session was filled with family (the beauty of a small temple).

While we are at Grandma's house the girls wake up early to play, are too excited to take naps, and don't want to go to bed. Understandably they get quite cranky especially for bedtime. Mandy starts putting the girls to bed and Emily tells her, "I'm mad at you Aunt Candy." Emily cried and carried on about going to bed, a great indication that she is very tired. After she was done putting them to bed Mandy heard Meredith tell Emily, "Just go to bed, Emily." Spoken like a true sibling tired of hearing the other one cry. I have no idea why Meredith was being the good one.

In the meantime I have to get a TON of stuff done before we leave for the Holidays and my sister's wedding in less than 3 weeks. Her wedding is the day after our 5th anniversary.

Don't you love it when one child see's how ridiculous a tantrum of their sibling is? I think it is great.
Happy Holidays
