Build You A Rainbow

I've watched this clip since I was a child in Primary. Love it - always have! But can rarely get through it without blubbering all over myself. When I was small - I related to the boy... Now I relate to the mom....

To my children - all of you... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

I Love My Mom!

I don't think it matters the age - I still love my mom!

Love One Another

We've had a bit of a tough week here at our house. (Understatement!)
Saw this video this morning and thought of my family.
I love you all!

I Am A Child Of God

I watched this with my little one 3 times this morning - and teared up each time! I was so grateful for the simple reminder - not only of who I am - but who these children in my care are too.

Little Miss T has changed the words for this one (her favorite song by far) just ever so slightly. She sings it as, "I am a child FOR God"... and I love that she is.

The Women In Our Lives...

I loved this message... along with my mother, grandmother, and so many sisters, cousins and friends! You are wonderful!

Is This Narnia??

I think this must be Narnia... You know, the land of eternal winter and never Christmas!

Last night when I went to bed, there was no snow in my front yard.

This is what I saw out my front door this morning...

 AAACCKKK!!

And it wasn't done snowing yet!!

However, there was one (and only one) beautiful moment in more of this white stuff...

 V left a note for me on his way to school... :)

Okay back to reality and a quote from little Miss T...

"NO MORE SNOW! SICK OF SNOW!"

Bad Dreams

I was woken up early this morning by a very sad little girl. Her face was wet with tears as she said, "I can't find my 'other mommy'".

This breaks my heart! She knows we love her. She asks me all the time, "I your little angel?" But it seems that there will always be a hole in her heart for that "other mommy".

DH handled it so well! He told her, "One mommy is right here and the other mommy is with your grandma!" Still, she needed more cuddles and reassurance. She has referred to this dream several more times today... so I know this situation is weighing heavy on her heart. Please pray that she will find some peace.

Hubby's Bathroom Reader

I think the title says it all...

When children have chosen another way | Mormon Times

An excellent article that I happened upon this morning. Just wanted to share...

Now, back to caring for my sick little one...

Three Things I Am Grateful For:

1. My children! I love them! I raised them on my own for many years - and I am still grateful for that experience. They mean the world to me!

2. My little one does NOT have pneumonia... just needs a little more rest and meds to get better. :)

3. My own health has been on the mend... and it's about stinkin' time! :)

Child of God

Just a quick one tonight. Heard the little one in her bed tonight singing, I Am A Child of God. Here's a sample of what I heard... (please forgive my attempt at the baby talk spelling!)

"I a chi-ad a God. (Child of God)
He send me heew. (Sent me here)
Has give me a earf-we home. (given me an earthly home)
And pawents kinda deew" (parents kind and dear... Not just "kinda dear")

So stinkin cute!

I love her!
