"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."
--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

We are enjoying the weather lately, when it is not raining. The girls love taking Lily to the bus everyday.
Today we got the little wading pool and sprinkler out. The girls had a lot of fun with them in our little backyard. They actually played with them all day, off and on. It was nice.
Lily thinks this picture is hilarious because it looks like she has no arms. From that point of view, it is pretty funny.
No matter how hot it is, that first touch of water is always startling...
"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
