Our family finished the Book of Mormon together for the first time today! It was very exciting. Ok, actually, it was anti climatic. I guess somewhere in my naive little Mormon girl brain I figured that would it would be a great spiritual finale to our 3 years of work. But when we were done Go Go just said, “Can I have some more orange juice?” I’d like to say that it has been an incredible spiritual journey for our young family and that it was foundational in their young testimonies. But… I won’t. Yes, I hope it was foundational, however an “incredible spiritual journey” would be stretching things QUITE a bit. 🙂 Some days it was all we could do to keep them from fighting over toys or bouncing off the walls while we read. But I hope something got in, by osmosis, if nothing else! Sorry for the cheesy picture, but I thought the boys would appreciate this photo 20 years from now. Rock n Roll will appreciate the memory of his hair, anyway. Ok, so I’ll appreciate the memory of his hair. He begs me daily to shave it-less work for his ascetic mind.And Blue Jeans decided to find the stairs in our house for the first time today. He is always blocked out by a gate, but it didn’t take him long to notice the gate was gone today! I got to him just before he fell over backwards into my arms. Whew!
And I thought that was all the firsts for the day till tonight when I found… for the first time in my life…..deep breath… a gray hair in my head!!!!! May it be the last.
