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.

The Smiles and Laughs

The girls are constantly bringing me a smile to my face. I love it. Like today...

Mom: It's time to take a nap.
Emily: I don't want to take a nap.
Dad: We have to take a nap so we can be happy.
Emily: I don't want to be happy, I want to be sad.

Or after Meredith and I take Emily to school, as soon as I sit down she says, "I want my lesson, Mom." She brings me the "Let's Get Ready for Kindergarten" book. She also has to have HER TURN! to recite the scripture we're memorizing all by herself. Unless of course she gets stuck and asks for it.

And then after preschool I question Emily on how school went and about her friends. There are a couple of things we can be pretty sure about. #1 - Jack was naughty. #2 - Sarah and Grace and Brian are her friends. #3 - Someone was naughty in school and someone was nice. #4 - Someone was missing. So, as soon as I'm done talking to Emily, Meredith loves to talk about Jack and the other names that she hears about from Emily. Although, it seems Jack is starting to be nice at school.
