Tony came home at 8:00 am from his early meetings (we're talking 5:30 am meetings!!) to help me dress the girls. I had an 8:15 am appointment w/the Bishop - who called me to be the Activities Chairman - and although I was 15 minutes late for the appointment, I would have been much later if Tony wasn't home to help. Tony choose THE cutest dresses for Rebecca & Mary-Gail - he even put on their silky panties and bobby-socks. They are so lucky to have such a good and attentive Daddy, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and partner.
When we arrived at church, Rebecca saw a painting of Jesus hanging on the wall in the foyer, pointed to Him, and said, "Jesus" and Mary-Gail echoed, "Jesus." Their little voices flood me with emotion each time they say "Jesus." Mary-Gail heard the organist playing the songs to be sung during Sacrament meeting and ran into the chapel, then stopped and started doing an impromptu dance of deep-knee squats, jumps, and random arm movements all while she was saying "dance." She & Rebecca were super during Sacrament meeting and entertained themselves with their books and quiet toys. Mary-Gail then realized that her socks helped her slide (which she loves to do), so she slid from a standing position on the pew, to a sitting position. Each time saying, "Weeee!" That lasted about 3 times before I nipped it. Such innocence and delight in simple things. I love my little girls!

manda i'm lovin it! i remember the last time we went to church with you guys and mary-gail kept saying hi! to jack on the stand. i'm glad that you take them to church it must be hard but you can tell they love it.
What a fun church day! Yesterday was only the SECOND time in ONE year that Jamie and I survived an entire three hour session of church. We were all exhausted by the end. How do people do it?
Activities! I think you will bring great energy to that calling. I hated it.
