Family-together

Today is the end/beginning of the week. Our family has had quite a week this past week. Each of our daughters have had "one" of those weeks that we pray do not happen often. But Saturday made it all worth while. Four of our five daughters and their families were here to support two of our grandchildren when they were baptized. What a joy it was for Glen and I to have them all here and see how our family has grown. They are so darn cute together. That's our grown children and their spouses and their children. It's like they have so little time when they are all together that no one seems to argue or have sour faces. Everyone is giggling, talking, laughing, teasing and beaming (as when the two, Hanae and Graeme were baptized). The two little ones were so serious and cute when they were sitting there listening to the talks that were given and to the Bishop while he was talking to them. Afterward, the two that were baptized sit next to each other and shared a song book so they could sing the closing song. Which I'm sure they both know by heart, I Am A Child of God. I love watching all of our grandchildren, the older ones included and realize how innocent and beautiful they are both inside and out. They are truly Children of God.

Thank you for this day and for the blessing we have of having a family that are all trying to be good, kind and decent human beings.
