When he first stood up at the adult session, he asked us all to put a big smile on our face. He said, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is about Joy and if you loose the Joy you loose it all. I hope I can always remember that and serve in my roles as wife, mother and right now in the Primary with great Joy. Joy for my Savior and His amazing Gospel. There was much more said, but just remember to have Joy and Hope. Never loose Hope.
Natalie made it through the 2 hour stretch today with only one visit to the hall. She was a real champ. We also brought M&M's to feed her the last half an hour. We are good parents like that. i have been trying to get her to pick out her clothes lately to help her be more independent. Sunday mornings we go through all her dresses until she says yes. Mostly her response to anything these days is "No." This dress was her pick this morning and good thing, because it is almost too small. She also just got these new white shoes and socks for the Spring and Summer time. She loves them and put them on first thing after getting her dress on this morning. Every morning when I ask her to pick socks she wants to wear these "church" socks, she was glad it was finally a "church" day.
Another great part of the day was we all got naps. It was a gorgeous day and it was nice to spend some time with Justin as he was busy most of Saturday doing service and attending meetings. We are looking forward to a busy week with Tuesday being our 20 week ultra sound day. Boy or Girl? We shall see.

Natalie is so adorable! Its great that you let her pick her own clothes. We always laugh because when I was in preschool someone came to assess each student and the only feedback he gave my mom about me was that she had to stop choosing my clothes - I was too matchy matchy. Ha. So ya, I am sure that child psychologist would approve of your efforts :) Good luck at your ultrasound! So fun to see the baby!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! :) Kasila does the same thing with a lot of her clothes. I usually pull out 2-3 things and make her choose from them. I'm excited to find out what we each are having this time around! I'm not sure if you get emails about comments, because I don't, so I just noticed your comment on my blog. We are planning on coming down around Christmas. Plans are still in the works, but I think we are going to do our baby blessing the Sunday after Christmas in Utah. It'd be fun to be able to get together at some point. I think our girls would have a blast. :)
