The Firsts Of Many


This first picture is from back in January on Haven's first day of primary. She has that February birthday so she had been waiting a long time to "get to go to class with the big kids." It's not surprising that she loves it but it is somewhat surprising how well behaved she is. Haven is a talker. Everywhere. Every time. All the time. We are often amazed and bewildered by the fact that her little jaws and tongue don't just get sore from all the motion. It's one of the many reasons we love her! So here's to many more happy days in primary. Many many many more!


Haven had her first primary talk this past Sunday. Her topic was obeying her parents. She made up her own story about two girls named Kylie and Hannah who were having a play date together. Kylie's Dad told her not to take her new doll but she did anyways and then when Hannah was playing with her it broke and Kylie felt bad because she should have listened to her Dad. That's where the story ended when she practiced with me but Haven was enjoying her assignment so much that when I nudged her to get down from the microphone she said but "Mommy. I'm not done!' She continued with her story saying that "then Hannah and Kylie started fighting!" What the???? I had no idea where she was going with it and tried my best to persuade her to "tie up the loose ends" but Haven is difficult to persuade. To our amazement she finished up by saying that we have to listen to our Mommys and Daddys but we have to obey Jesus too who says "No fighting." Good girl Gracie. And here's to many more well prepared, practiced and insightful talks from our obedient four year old.



After church my photo shoot with Haven turned into a sisters photo shoot. So cute sisters.
Side note. I just spent 30 minutes getting the slideshow of these pictures perfect and it's being stupid. So here they are. One by one. Sorry.

Holy falling teers! What adorable pictures! I miss all of you guys a ton, and my arms are aching from no super duper BW hugs, or running leaps from Gracie, or squeezes from Rylan, and just sweet loves from La-la. I miss Trev's little side hugs and Bryan dwarfing me. Ah man...make sure the brothers AND sisters get lots of loves from Auntie Rachael. Love you guys.

Those girls are so cute! Oh, sisters! I loved reading about Haven's talk. It's like reading a personal version of the "Friend" with mommy remarks. Much more entetaining. She seems like such a sweet girl. Love and miss you guys! Hey, where are you going for your trip?
