Things to come

 These beautiful children.  We have magical moments where I feel like I've skipped 25 years and am enjoying them as a grandparent.  I've told you how we play card games with a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 2 year old.  It's amazing.  They've started to clear and set the table.  They are so incandescently beautiful I just can't stand it, often.   lP let me braid her hair and I was completely startled by how beautiful it was.  She's the queen of crazy hair.  Someday...

  Tonight we had FHE and everyone has a job.  G gave the lesson using a flyer from his primary class.  M led us in a game of Doggie Doggie Where's Your Bone.  We used a doll for the bone (don't read too much into that) and then for the last round switched it out with a candy bar.

My father in law gave us this lovely laminated world map.  Can you believe that in 14 years M will be posing in front of this picture pointing to the area she's going to serve a mission in?  Wild.  The recent change in age for women to serve missions is a huge game changer.  I'm so excited for my girls to go on missions at 19 because they better not be getting married at 18.
