First Day Of School

Eric started school today. This morning when I asked him to pose for this picture he said, "Why, I'm not five anymore!" When he came home from school I asked him what the highlight of his day was. He replied, "Playing doubles in ping-pong."

Question: Isn't recess a five year old's favorite part of the day?

Somethings never change. Yes, one day he will be a doctor. One year down... three more to go!!!

Sister Marjorie Hinckley

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
