Life can be so crazy! Today I forgot a couple of key things and I feel horrid about it. I shared one of the incidents with someone tonight and she said, "I wish I could take it from you." (what I had forgotten wasn't so bad as how it made someone else feel.) That was nice of her to say. That made me think two things, 1)Our Savior suffered and died for us, to take away pain from us if we just repent and follow Him, 2)I'm glad to have to deal with things myself sometimes.
Happy Birthday Susie, Somer, Abbie and Alison! I think today takes the cake for the most birthdays of people I know. :)
Avery wanted to be held today. To sit on my lap, really, and watch Blues Clues or Paz. My kids are growing before my eyes and someday they'll be teenagers and that's a whole 'nother ball of wax, so I hear. Today I just wanted to squeeze them and hug them and tell them how I love them. (but not the whole day, because being couped up inside has it's limits).
I'm just writing here.... Many of you may know of an 8 year old boy in our church who was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and hasn't much time expected left. I hardly know what to say. I can't wrap my head around it all. Tomorrow he is getting baptized along with his cousin, something he's excited to do. Send love and prayers to Gabe DuBois and his family.
With love, there are no bounds.

I know about those days where you'd like nothing better than to hold those lovely little angels. And how lucky and blessed we are that we can do that.
I also forget really important things from time to time. Hopefully friends will understand!
Love you.
I have spent countless afternoons holding a little one and watching a movie/show for the the 100th time, often my little Quentin (10) will want me to watch a show with him. I don't regret doing it, even if it means nothing gets done and Robert comes home to a mess. I pray they remember that when they wanted me near them I stopped the meaningless stuf and did that. I also know that crazy couped up feeling when you can't get out of the house. It's the worst especially when the weather is bad too. I'm sorry that you forgot something important but maybe it wasn't really meant for you to do- you know what I mean, maybe in the grand design you were meant to forget. I'm glad that you recognize the Savior's part in all this- he suffered all the pains, even the pain that comes with hurt feelings. love you tons!
