Tonight at the circus, I mean dinner table, James mouthed to me, "We have six children." He did this because it was so loud I probably wouldn't have been able to hear him. With a big grin, I mouthed back, "What have we done?" It's crazy, but very often we comment to each other how much we are going to miss it in a few short years.
Later we all went for a walk/bike ride, listened to one of President Eyring's conference messages, and read Wildwood around the fire pit. Somewhere in there, the ward music director called and asked if we would do a musical number in sacrament meeting on our last Sunday. We chose, "The Family is of God."

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?
-Gordon B. Hinckley, “Your Greatest Challenge, Mother,” Ensign, Nov 2000, 97–100
