Counting my blessings

Yesterday my little sweetheart, Jaden, had his tonsils out. I hated to see him go through it, but I know how much it helped Melissa when she was little so I was happy he was having it done. I had the privilege of tending the twins. I must say, I did sleep well last night!! They are so adorable, loving, and VERY busy!! Finally I resorted to the tent trick. We just built a big tent with blankets in the family room and rested in there. They had fun and I got a breather.... It's no wonder that Amber is so skinny. She must get exercise every waking minute keeping up with 2 toddlers.







Sometimes being a Relief Society president is rough. We had a boy in our ward commit suicide on Monday night. I don't even know the family. They don't come to church. But, we are helping with the funeral luncheon. My heart just ached as I tried to imagine what the family must be going through. I'm so grateful for the church and I'm grateful that I have this opportunity to help out. I talked to the boy's grandma for a while yesterday and she told me that they have no clue why he did it. Wouldn't that be so hard..... I know that the ladies in my ward will come through and we will have a nice luncheon for the family. They are expecting 200 people for the luncheon. I'm glad that the ward of the grandparents is helping us put it on.
