"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."
Tonight Ben was helping Chloe say her prayers by her bed, and he said she said, "Please bless us not to eat fish, because fish are gross." Oh the cute things she says!
"The children...their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day....like the colours of the rainbow...they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today." -- John Denver

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."
-Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006
