Sweet Little Bed Time Moments

As I snuggled my little girl to sleep tonight, I decided to take my time and enjoy the quiet moment with her. As she is walking and toddling around the house now, it's not often that I get the chance to really snuggle with her anymore. Usually bed times are quick (story, prayers, bottle, bed) and I leave little time for cuddling. But with the stillness of the house tonight, I took a few moments to snuggle with my little girl. I soaked up every detail of the moment. As I counted all ten of her chubby little fingers, ran my fingers through her white blond hair, and touched her soft, sweet face, I realized that my baby girl is not a baby anymore. I thought about all of the night time feedings, just the two of us snuggled up in that green chair, and began to miss them. I realized that these moments are becoming fewer and that I need to enjoy her while I can. I left her room with a tear running down my cheek trying to remember every detail of that moment so I could keep it forever! (I know, I'm a sap). As I thought more and more about time, and how important it is, my thoughts were then turned to President Monson's talk "Finding Joy in the Journey". He says a quote that I love that goes like this “You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected a lot of empty yesterdays.” I want so much more now to take time for TODAY'S and enjoy every moment I have with not just Camilla, but my family. And take President Monson's counsel to heart.

"Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family."
