circles of my life

This picture was taken last week. It reminded me of the blessing it is to be a mother. Seeing my kids at the temple where Spencer and I were sealed is especially poignant for me.

I would like to thank my own mother for being selfless. Every day I am reminded that mothers serve because they love and not because they are seeking praise. I love my good mother and am humbled that someone thought it was a good idea to send 3 little kids into my incapable (yet striving) hands.

I just wanted to tell you I am so glad you are my friend! I have such a hard time looking at things with that eternal perspective, and you always make me stop and think and appreciate what I have. Thanks for being my friend and a good example to me! Love you!

Ok, enough sappy stuff ;o)

I think their Heavenly Father knew exactly what he was doing sending these precious spirits into their wonderful home.
Thatis a great screen saver size picture when enlarged. Must have taken dozens of snaps to get that special expression on each one.
love, dad
