Elijah's First Day at Home - Scripture Time!

I was so excited to see Adalei and Brielle dressed in their cute matching shirts and wanted to take a picture. There are lady bugs on the shirts. Adalei picked these out at the store.

I forgot that I had bought them and so I asked Adalei were they got their cute shirts. She said she got them when I bought my sweaters. Then I remembered that I had stopped at the outlets after her first dentist appointment because I wanted to get some sweater vests that were on sale. In checking out the clearance section, we found these cute shirts and some others. I let Adalei pick out which one she liked best. I was amazed that Adalei's memory was far better than mine!



A proud father holding his son........ Dad and little junior! :-) Elijah was so tiny and light - just like a little ball. Nate could hold him in one hand.

Nate and Misty are amazing. They got home from the hospital around 6 pm that night and by 8 pm they were having scripture time. I don't think they ever miss a day. When I babysit, we usually do an article of faith or two.....

I think they are on the second time reading the Book of Mormon with their family. I think Nate was 8 yrs old when he finished reading the Book of Mormon for the first time. I'm happy to see my son does much better than I did with scripture reading. I was fortunate if I got in one verse a day. This is a commandment that I struggled with doing as a family. It was easier to read on my own. I'm just grateful that my kids do better at this than I did.
