Sariah made her first attempt at cutting out fabric from pattern pieces today. It was an enthusiastic start but became frustrating working with fabric paper. Nonetheless, I joy in the thought of teaching her to sew---something I so enjoy.
It's something I'm trying not to reinforce, but it is so humorous and cute. In complete context, Hyrum is exclaiming a handful of times a day, "What da heck?" Bryant doesn't say it very often, but I guess it only takes once.
Talmage picked up the whole house for me tonight so I didn't have to do so much bending. I'm so grateful. Grateful not to have to bend, but even more grateful for such a sweetheart of a boy.

Words I Try to Live By
"Love begins at home, and it's not how much you do, it's how much love you put into what you do."
-Mother Theresa
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow,
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, and dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep!
-A poem that hung on my mother's wall
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be—
I had a Mother who read to me.
-Strickland Gillilan
You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old, when your hair turns white and your body grows weary, when you are prone to sit in a rocker and meditate on the things of your life, nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out. It will not be the money you have made. It will not be the cars you have owned. It will not be the large house in which you live. The searing question that will cross your mind again and again will be, How well have my children done?
