"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."
Joseph turned twelve a week and a half ago. Because his birthday fell on a Monday, he wasn't able to get a temple recommend until the following Sunday, so today was his first trip to the temple. The last couple of weeks have been nice, but this morning there was a slight dusting of snow on the ground and it was pretty chilly- all the more incentive to hurry up and get inside. It was crowded today for some reason, but it was a great morning. I loved watching Spencer play the role of big brother beautifully and direct Joseph where he needed to be. Once again, I'm so grateful that Erica wanted to start this as a weekly experience and I overrode my own hesitations and agreed. The above scripture, 3 John 1:4, has been running through my head all day. I think there may be only one joy greater- to actually be able to see it.

What a great expeience! Seems to make all the sacrifices that we make as mothers worth every second. I love those "payback" moments!
I think the smiles on the kids' faces say it all. They have my heart smiling today.
How great is that! What a blessing to live so close to the temple as well. And what a blessing to have been given such wonderful children.
What a neat day! They look they are glowing with happiness.
Do they do baptisms before school? Wow! You have really great kids!
