Last years 2009 Grandparent gift, a personalized photo calendar, was a huge hit. I think every month when the new picture was displayed I received a call saying thankyou for the great gift. They loved being reminded of their long distant grandchildren. it was so easy too. I think I decided to make the gift last minuet. I made it in one day and they arrived just in time for christmas day. I'm not a procrastinator or anything ;)

1 Nephi 17

Last night while I was reading the book of Mormon I was comforted by the spirit and reaffirmed my admiration for Nephi. In this chapter he gives a great pep talk having faith in the Lord. Beleiving that He will prepare the way we should go even when the way seems dark and unknown. I loved how he taught his doubting brothers this principle by reminding them of how the Lord lead previous prophets-mainly Moses and the Egyptians to refine them and striten them with his rod.

vs 30 "and nothwithstanding they being led, the Lord their God, their Redeemer, going before them, leading them by day and giving light unto them by night and doing all theings for them which were expedient for man to receive, they .....hardened their hearts and blinded their minds against moses and the true and living God."...He is true to his word. vs31 According to his word He DID destroy them and according to his word he DID lead them" He did everything according to his word.
vs35 The Lord esteemeth all flesh in one; he that is righteous is favored of God...vs40 He loveth those who will have him to be thier God"

Just as he lead the Egyptians he will lead ME according to his word.

"And I will be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led."

Where is my promised Land?

vs38 He leadeth away the righteous into precious lands, and the wicked he destroyeth.."

I supposed it is anywhere where I feel safe and supported by other righteous people the Lord has also lead here.

Lydia cracks us all up

Lydia is so funny--and she knows it. She can make herself laugh. I think her own laugh makes her laugh. and seeing us all laughing only Encourages her even more to be silly.
Tonight a dinner she didn't eat any dinner, but she did learn how to crawl in and out of her highchair all by herself. She used the foot rest as a step and up she went. Getting down was a little bit a challenge at first but with a few times as practice she was a pro. I am amazed that when she is focused on trying something she can hurt herself in the process and not even cry. tough cookie

Joy ful Journey

I love it when Austin Says you're Beautiful MOm. It is amazing how a sweet and simple compliment can brighten up my world. I love Austin TOO

Lydia Says Mammma

It is so cute when Lydia calls me Mammma. She knows just how to get my attention. SHe calls my name and then comes to pat me on the leg-saying "Come mom I need your Help"

Lydia's new game

Everyday i am caught off guard at how smart Lydia is. SHe is constantly watching and trying to emulate how we do everything. Sometimes she is able to copy on the first try. I am surprised how if she watches my lips when I say a word she is able to say her version of the word much more clearly. "baby" she now says each sylable more distinct. Bay-bee

I don't know what it is about me but i love to bite. Lydia and I play a game where I try to bite her fingers (gently) when she puts them close to my mouth. Well tonight she started getting tricky. She started putting her finger on the outside of my lips where it is harder to grab her finger and now she is able to yank her fingers away fast enough so that I can not catch them in my teeth.

It sure makes her laugh when she thinks she has beat me at our little game.
