A Great Quote

"My dear brothers and sisters, may the laughter of children gladden our hearts. May the faith of children soothe our souls. May the love of children prompt our deeds. 'Children are an heritage of the Lord' (Ps. 127:3)...
It is our solemn duty, our precious privilege—even our sacred opportunity—to welcome to our homes and to our hearts the children who grace our lives...
Parents everywhere realize that the most powerful combination of emotions in the world is not called out by any grand cosmic event, nor is it found in novels or history books, but merely by a parent gazing down upon a sleeping child...
May our Heavenly Father ever bless these sweet souls, these special friends of the Master, is my humble and earnest prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
Thomas S. Monson "Precious Children-A Gift From God" Ensign Nov 1991

Oh how I LOVE President Monson.
That is EXACTLY how I feel!










We've never been good at keeping a secret around here, this is my way of announcing that we are
PrEgNaNt & OvErJoYeD!

So here's how Taite let the "cat-out-of-the-bag"!
Taite called her Oma the day before Thanksgiving for one of our daily chats. She starts talking about Sloney-baloney.
I said, "What are you telling me about Sloney-baloney?" She says, "My mommy is going to have Sloney-baloney soon someday."
I asked, "Taite, did you just let the cat-out-of-the-bag? She says, "Oma, I don't know no cat in a bag."
I asked if her mommy was nearby? Taite said, "Yes, right here in the kitchen." I said, "Good! Look at mommy and repeat after me: cat..out..of..the..bag!"
All I could hear was Devyn bursting into laughter.
I'm thrilled for Matt & Devyn and I'm thrilled for Papa & Oma to have another darling grandchild. "And that's no balogna!"
Love you guys, Mom/Oma
