Update

Marie is itching for a new post. I have bad news- the only camera I own is still dead, caput, meurte (sp), dead like unto a door nail, it's seen better days- I try to take pictures and it mocks me... Therefore, I'm blog-tarded. Forgive the lack of pretty things to look at and just read the words which spew forth like a fount.....

... whatever.... So for FHE we drew pictures of the whole "Tree of Life" scene. I would like to post them because the girls really did a great job- alas, I cannot (refer to the above paragraph... )
We've been doing so good about scriptures and prayer- it may not seem hard to some, but we've struggled, but since the new year I'm pretty proud of us. We're not tearin' through the B of M (even though the girls have such a mastery of the scriptural dialect they could speed read and retain) we are pacing ourselves so that I can keep up- I've beheld this new habit, and the habit is good.

Notice to friends, family, and those who read my blog at the request of others...

So, I'm bummed... My camera appears to be dead. Alas, I'm afraid (and I know you'll agree) blogging loses something when there are not pictures involved. So- join me in praying that a shiny new camera materializes for Valentine's day... Otherwise, I'm operating under a handicap that may well hamper further blogging... even at my pathetic rate of entry...
Happy Valentine's Day- I love you all!

Lead by example...

That's what i always say! So... We were over at our cousins house (my sister Marie's) when her daughter Gwendalin came in and declared she needed a bra. Why? Because McKenna had one (and that was the example she was following!). Well, I thought that Kenna must have on one of her little camisoles that she calls a bra. Further investigation, however, revealed that no, she had found a very padded bra (one of mine that i'd given to Marie because it was too tight- see, I was trying to "pad what i had" trying to have more- we always want, want, want- different size, shape, location... but i digress...) anyway- McKenna had found it and put it on- perkiest 4 year old i've ever seen, or would hope to see! So then (and this is on Marie's blog also) we helped Gwennie "pad what she had"... I was laughing so hard I could have wet myself! But the little girls were just thrilled with their new "endowments"- how funny.


Later that week on Sunday (or maybe it was earlier this week- whichever), We found ourselves back at their house for dinner and the super bowl (good game, no matter who you wanted to win, best bowl in years), the kids played- the big people talked, ate, and watched- it was a good time. McKenna looks kinda sad, maybe a bra would have lifted her spirits.

I probably should have posted this on their blog, but I'm not sure it gets read, and this was pretty cute.
