Mommy Daguhter Date

Today was the first day of General Conference and it was so wonderful. I love conference! I love that we can watch it from home- the girls can do quiet activities and watch during the fist session and then be in the next room napping during the next session. I am also blessed for the priesthood session and for the opportunity it gives us girls to go have some fun together while Daddy is fulfilling his priesthood duties. Tonight the girls and I went to a gymnastics open gym at the gymnastics center where Abigail starts classes next week. It was so fun to see the girls so excited to have free reign on the equipment and for me to to what little I could to help them.

Court

This afternoon was looong. Much longer than I anticipated, but I still feel quite blessed for the opportunity and the ability that I had to go to court to support my friends.

Swimming With Daddy

Tonight we took the girls swimming and Drew was Super Dad to get in with the girls while I felt sickish, but warm on the sidelines. These girls love to swim and it was fun to watch how much they've progressed by swimming in the lake this summer. I'm so blessed for Drew being so fun and willing to take the girls in the pool by himself, and it was such a blessing to witness how much Abigail and Lauren really love the water and spending time with their Daddy.

Missed Church

I am still feeling quite sick, especially this morning and so I missed church while Drew and the girls went. And I am blessed to realized something: I really did miss church. I missed going and hearing testimonies, I missed all the young women, I missed learning more about the history of the restoration, I missed sending the girls off to primary, I missed being able to take the sacrament, I missed hearing Lauren 'sing' during the meeting, I missed sitting by Drew all dressed up, I missed visiting with friends. I guess I feel blessed to realize that even though I was too sick to go today, that when you miss church you really do miss out and I'm excited to not miss any more (and to be healthy).
