Sisters

Lia went to town with me one day this was her ready to go look. Addie got the glasses earlier this year from a teacher.

Years and years of kids. Not many days are filled with movies but sometimes I have to get to other things and I need a break. Thankfully disney movies entertain and the old ones are reliably safe for these kiddos to watch or sleep through. 

The missionaries stopped by. We like to send a picture to their families. I love receiving these from people far away with my missionaries. It's good to see them working and a tiny glimpse of how they are working. Aliza took the picture. 

Gathering after a long days work getting ready for scriptures. These guys are so fun and so able to do many things. 

One big not pictured item that is the reason behind these pictures is the sister who was visiting. Aliza who cleans, who calms, who covers the gaping holes in our learning lots of new skills family dynamic. The one who is happy and friendly with all. She also provided a lot of braiding. Livy with her full head of hair really enjoyed this new look. 

After church one Sunday. According to my facebook feed many families take pictures each Sunday. We don't it never occurs to me. The organization and push to get everyone out the door on time. Then coming home in a dead run to shed the dresses and ties its a pretty big rush to stop or pause for a photo. I don't know how we sort of managed it this day. But how we love this group. 

The young women leaders organized a temple trip for senior age daughters and their dads. Never one to waste time or opportunity to go to the temple we sent all who could go with their dad on a night when the ground was too wet to work. Being farmers in the spring good days must be used to work the ground or fix things, but this one evening they ran away to the temple.  The instructions were Addie would sit in the front seat and no one else could talk. They had a great evening and the month of April included temple attendance. 

 Life is so good with siblings to share the journey. These sisters share light, laughter, companionship, strength and love with each other, our family, and the world. I'm so thankful for the young people in my home. We sorely miss the older ones who do and are so much to our family stability. We are pleased they take their unique talents and bless others as they go forth living their plans and dreams. We rejoice when they return and pray for them ever after. We are blessed.
