  I love your description of children, Jennie. They are generally so trusting, humble, and wanting to please. It reminds me of several scriptures that tell us we adults should become more like our children. Here's one:
  
  

  Matthew 18:4

  4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
  
  
• I think you've got some great goals, and certainly I think the rest of us share some of those, if not all,  with you. I don't drink any soda, but I do need to drink more water. I could use more scripture time. I personally feel a need to get back to compiling our book of family history. Have you been thinking about writing about your family for 2010 and 2011? I wanted to have it done before the weather got nice but I am not going to make that timing. When do you think reasonably that you could give me what you want to contribute? I do want every family represented and no one left out, but I can't wait forever.  How about June 15? 
       I attended a photography workshop presented by Nevada Weir, brought in by the inland empire chapter of PSA (Photography Society of America) on Saturday. It was SO good. I'm really glad that I went, and I'll be sure to listen or read all conference sessions like we have in the past. I truly wanted to go again on Sunday. I know! I really was tempted.  Dad said that a member of the Stake Presidency wanted to see us after conference at 11 a.m.  Oh! Thank you...suddenly my desire to go to a photography seminar diminished somewhat. I've always felt that one needs to be at the right place at the right time, and when you choose to follow the commandments, blessings come. I truly was blessed in that my photographer friend Adrianne took such excellent notes on Sunday I actually can read them and know what was presented. She gave me about 12 pages worth on Monday. 
       Our bathroom is almost done! I'm so excited. LIsa, I can't wait until you come over tomorrow! I'm mad that it snowed today! I know the girls won't want to be outside. 
       Did you know that the Church is inviting members to go online and express their feelings about  Jesus Christ Friday - Sunday? I'll forward the email I got about it.
       Love to you all.   Mom
