Yes, it's worth it!


This morning as Ellie was helping me with the laundry she came to me with tears in her eyes.
"What's the matter Ellie."
"I'm crying because I am so happy."
"What are you so happy about?"
"I feel so happy inside because I prayed downstairs and told Heavenly Father I was glad he sent me to my family."

Kids say the darndest things. Just last night I was ready to trade them in!

Update on Wells

In case you were wondering(my few faithful followers), Wells went for stitches but didn't get stitched he got glued. I like the glue idea but this time it was a bad call. We went in to the emergency room again because he busted half of the cut open again at a gymnastics party.(I guess it was also a bad call to send him to a ruff and tumble party with an unhealed chin.) Of course it had been too long and they only put a band aid on it and said well it will be a nice scar. The glue looked like it would hold the first two days but after that he kept bumping it and the wound began to bleed whenever he bumped it(which was all the time). Note to self, when a very active and accident prone boy gets a 3/4 plus inch gash on his chin, it would be wise to insist on stitches.

On another note, what a wonderful time I have had this week holding sick babies. It is a worry when they are sick but I have let myself enjoy taking time out to sit and rock and comfort them.
