Thoughts on Life

Mom and dad left today after visiting since Wednesday. We had such a great time with them and the kids SO enjoyed spending quality time with grandma and grandpa. I left at 5am this morning to take them to the airport and Mac had told them that he was going to wake up in time to see them, but he was still asleep when we left. When I returned back to the house after taking them and saw Mac, he said that when he woke up and saw that it was 7:00, he knew he had missed them, so he sat in his bed and cried. Poor guy -- the kids just love their grandparents so much!
Jilli is full of tricks. Some she's been doing for a while, but others she is just learning to do. She clicks her tongue, bends her knees up and down to dance, hides and says "BOO," makes a surprise face, and lots of other super cute things.
Mom and dad seemed to think that Beckam had changed the most since they last saw the kids. Beck's definitely grown out of the little boy stage and has become a full-grown big boy. He continues to do things his own way on his own time and there's no telling him differently or making him do something faster than he wants to. He's got a stubborn streak in him and there's no way he's gonna let his big brothers get the best of him. Beck's also super duper sweet and gives great kisses and he's still happy to let you hold him and carry him around. Love the kid!
Nate was called as the Elders Quorum president last night. He has my complete support as well as all my confidence that he'll do a great job and magnify this calling to the best of his ability. He's a wonderful man and I feel very lucky to have him for all of eternity.
