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.

Easter 2010

Saturday, between morning and afternoon conference, we had an Easter Egg hunt with some of our friends. Here they are before. (I knew I wouldn't be able to get them altogether looking at me with their baskets if they got their candy first.)

Here's a picture of the actual "hunt". Meredith in her cute braided pigtails. :)

Here's the girls Easter morning. You can sort of tell that I've been really focusing on teaching them. We got them the "Let's Get Ready for First Grade!" because we've loved the Kindergarten one so much. Of course, they took it around with them and plopped it down in some water they spilled which promptly ruined it, but we're still going to use it. They've also LOVED listening to Peter and the wolf. The candy jewelry was great at keeping Meredith quiet during conference. (Must keep note of that for October.)
She's thankful for Easter, or at least the candy. We try to explain Easter, but how much do the girls actually understand?
The whole day Meredith was saying, "Jesus is Resurrected." So cute!
It was wonderful to celebrate Easter and to have Conference. It was a fabulous weekend.
