Good days

This last week has been good. Not much exciting going on. I had YW on Tue. We did fear factor! It was a lot of fun watching the kids do that. We only had one casualty, one of my beehives got bit by a snake. All is well, they were just garden snakes. I am really enjoying this calling. It is fun to watch their excitement of being in the YW program and bonding with them.
Also this week Jackie and Cameron and Fam came and stayed with us for a few days. It is always fun to have them. The kids really enjoy each other and they just play play play. It is almost like a vacation with out going anywhere!! And last night we had FHE with the Ross side of the family. We decided that it would be good to get together once a month and share a spiritual message and let the kids hear us bear our testimonies once in a while. We do a lot of playing together and we thought it was important that the kids know that we all share the same values and commitments to the gospel. It was really fun! There was good food (as always) and fun to get together and visit! So this last week has been great. I am trying more lately to see the joy in the small everyday things. I have really just enjoyed being with my kids, playing, reading, talking, working on school work.... just being together. Family really is the most important thing, and we should but much more time into them then cleaning my house. So my house is a disaster and I have so much laundry to do, but when I look at what I accomplished last week I wouldn't trade it for anything!!
