Sunday

Let me just say, having Kris home on Sundays helps IMMENSELY. He got up this morning, made us eggs, bacon and potatoes (AND cleaned up his mess!). We could tag-team with the girls when they got rotten. It was great! Kris got out Annie's tunnel this morning and she and Emily had so much fun playing in it. They were so worn out, both of them took naps during Sacrament Meeting, which pretty much never happens!

I read two really lovely quotes from the Ensign this morning (that's right...I had time to read the Ensign! Why can't Kris be off every Sunday!?). They are from an article, "Faith and Infertility" from April. I didn't relate to everything (since clearly infertility is not really a problem at this point), but I did relate to the message on faith.

• “When someone has an ailment or an illness and they are healed as the result of a blessing, their faith is being strengthened. But for those who aren’t healed but continue faithful, their faith is being perfected. The first is a faith-promoting experience. The second is faith-perfecting.”

• “Sometimes we get caught up in the one-size-fits-all mentality, and we feel that our lives should look like other people’s lives. But that’s really not true. Everyone has different trials, and Heavenly Father is aware of those. If we are humble enough to follow the plan He has for us, we’ll be happy.”

I figure someday things won't be as hard as they are now. That's where the whole faith thing comes in.:)

Everything after church was pretty much a nightmare. No naps. Alot of crying and pouting and fit-throwing. Annie even got her first time-out for spitting out her peas at dinner. I was definitely grateful to not be fighting that battle alone tonight.:)
