FHE


all swaddled
We love family home evening.  We are not always all that reverent about it but we try.  This week Grace was the conductor.  She had us sing "Come Follow Me", then I treated the family to a solo performance of "Love Is Spoken Here".  We ended with "A Child's Prayer". It was lovely, except Hannah sat at the table doing her homework instead of singing.  She was in the room though, which totally counts.

Then we prayed and Ethan gave the lesson.  He said "Families are very important" and to get to know each other better he used a random number generator and we took turns going in a circle, getting a number and saying that many things about our day.  We went around the circle a number of times until we exhausted all the interesting stuff of the day and got down to sharing who the dog barked at and what we ate for lunch.  It was very fun actually. He bore testimony of the importance of family and Grace passed out treats.

After the closing prayer we decided to do a "newborn" photo shoot with Ziva since she never got one :)  Also very fun.

I love my family.  There is no one else I'd rather be stuck in a hotel room for 5 weeks with.
