“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by [a woman].”
President McKay
Sometimes I'm not sure I feel this way. However, today...today was such a great day. We were sitting in sacrament meeting listening to all the kids bare their testimonies. Riley heard someone say they loved their mom and dad. He looked at me and said, "Hey. I love my mom and dad!" I said, "you do?" He said, "Yeah. I need to go say that up there." So he and Lyn went up to the pulpit. I thought for sure he would chicken out...HE DIDN'T. My little boy, who at times makes me question my sanity, touched my heart in a way I didn't know possible. I always hope and pray Lyn and I are doing what is best for our kids...who knows if we are but today just making sure Riley was at church to hear the other testimonies, and feel the spirit, and of course bare his own for the very first time is something, and we'll take it.
I'm so happy to be a mom!

I was laughing so hard when Lyn said, "Talofa." I thought it was great. Riley was darling! I am so excited for tomorrow night!!!!
So sweet and adorable, those occasional manifestations of their angelic side really do sustain you through the "other" stuff.
