3 good things: Melissa, my sister-in-law posts "3 good things" on her blog. I've decided that this is the perfect thing for me to steal! Sorry Melissa. You've been robbed. The Tao teaches putting a positive spin on everything in life. Even the things you hate. My mom is the perfect example of this. She can find something she loves in EVERYTHING and makes it sound WONDERFUL! I think this 3 good things will help me on my way to growing into the things I love about my mom.
3 good things:

Naps. Faith and I took a nap together....naps are beautiful. (:
Movie nights.
Amazing husbands. My husband mopped the floor today...after making dinner. Need I say more?

Faith: Mom, can you sign me up for soccer? I want everyone to see my super kicks!
After every verse of scripture is read during family study, Faith always asks “what does that mean?” Tonight, Rahel decided she had the answer for Faith’s question: “Jesus cooks” while doing stirring motions with her arm.
Faith: See? I told you that stuffing the blankets in there would be better than folding them!
The squeaky dinosaurs use their squeaks to find nice friends. - Faith
Where's my swimming soup? - Rahel
Upon dropping her dinner in her lap, Rahel exclaimed "Dain it Rahel"
Faith excitedly pointed at some hummingbirds and said "I know what those are! Baby woodpeckers!"
Every time we drove over a cattle guard in the Uintas, Faith would announce "there's another cow trapper"
Faith found a bug and ran through the house yelling "where's the bug smacker, where's the bug smacker"
Faith was freaking out as only a bug could bring on, and when we asked what she saw, she told us that there was a "sox elder bug" outside!
In the car, Faith announced: I am smart and a cutie!

To Rahel's mother of the womb:

I pause and think of you every single day

Of your love and sacrifice before you went away

I thank you for the gift of your sweet Rahel

I will teach her of your love, that In the arms of Jesus you now dwell

I make to you this promise today

I will raise her up with love, and bring her back to you someday.

In my home she will feel safe and you can know

We will expand her mind and let her spirit grow.

Our Savior has made the way, suffered what was required

That we can all be united in His house, whole, a family reunited.

Rahel will know us both, I will do my part

You Her Mother of the womb,

And Me Her Mother of the heart

-I love you
