Just a quick note to give an update on the kidlets. Caeleb gave his first prayer and scripture at church 2 days ago. He did an awesome job. Especially on the Scripture (we had been practicing). He repeated about every 3rd word I said for the prayer but when Chris helped him with the scripture, he went right up to the podium, blurted out "Heavenly Father" and then clearly repeated Moroni 10:18 as Chris whispered it into his ear. I am so proud of my little boy and his sprouting testimony. I want him and Elva to know of my strong and ever growing testimony in a loving Heavenly Father and Mother, a Savior and Atonement and an eternal purpose to our existence on this earth.
A quick note about Elva. She is getting big. Her vocabulary is "up, te (there), hi, nana, mama, dada, na (Nathan - she love him and waves at him when he comes and goes and she goes right up to him all the time for hugs and wants to go downstairs with him when he comes home from work). I put her hair up in pig tails (well at least the front straight part of her hair) last Thursday and I attempted to do it again on Sunday. She does not like them but they are adorable and I hope to have more successes in hair dos for my little girl in the future.
Chris and I were able to go to the Temple tonight. I have not been in about 6 months. It was wonderful and I think the thing I reflected on most was the fact that I do not need to keep beating myself up about my imperfections but that I can put the past in the past and use each new day as a clean slate to become more and more like My Heavenly parents and my Savior. I do not want to waste another day in the past. I want to live each day to the fullest.
