First time Sarah tries solids. One month later, she still struggles.
First time for Sarah at Temple Square lights. Here is little Cammy chasing Will.
Eliza's first recital at Center Stage. She loves to dance. Their teacher told them they would be dancing for Santa for their performance. "Santa" was there - front and center. He looked about 19 and had black paper for boots. No wonder Eliza asked on the way home, "Mom. Was that the real Santa? I saw him fix his beard."
We spent some time in Midway after Christmas. It was so relaxing for me. A few days after we came home, Clayton noticed the difference. He wanted to know why I was so stressed now. Well, darling husband, it helps to have all my meals taken care of, my children occupied with their cousins, and crazy fun dance parties. He's doing his best to recreate all that at home.
My daughter on skates! This was a first for Eliza. I was amazed at her persistence. I can't wait to do this again with her.
I'm reading a great book, What the Scriptures Teach Us About Raising a Child by Michael Wilcox. This has helped me remember to enjoy parenting. It's encouraging to realize that Heavenly Father is involved in teaching us how to parent His children.
