I am not a complete failure! Hooray!!!

There is a window above my kitchen sink that over looks our sunken family room. This morning I was loading the breakfast dishes into the dishwasher and the girls were playing in the family room. I heard Eliza say, "Okay, Sadie." I looked up, through the window, and I was so delighted at what I saw. Eliza and Sadie were each kneeling at an end of the ottoman. Eliza began to say a prayer, "Heavenly Father, good day, Jesus Christ. Amen." I almost cried! All on her own, without direction from David or I, she and Sadie knelt down for a prayer! It was a wonderful moment for me. I feel like I just don't have a clue what I am doing sometimes. I wonder what in the world I am doing wrong because my little ones are so wiggly and noisey during Sacrament Meeting. Moms need moments like this. It made me feel like I am doing something right. Of course, I immediately stopped doing dishes, grabbed the camera and tried to capture this moment before they stopped doing it.

That is so precious, Terry! Small rewards like that let us know we are doing something right! Just darling!

If you listen real carefully you can hear them praying for a new mommy. That's something to cry about.
