A Full Heart

Today was a busy church day. I had to teach Relief Society and was up late perfecting my lesson again. Cooper decided to boycott nursery once more and Daddy had to deal with him (along with Bishopric things). When we got home I made a quick snack lunch of cheese, meat, crackers, pickles and fruit. As I prepared lunch Camilla called me while she was driving to Olds for her volleyball camp this week. It was her first long trip solo, so naturally I was slightly nervous. She ended up not going the way we had mapped out and tackled a traffic circle and merging onto the QII. The second time she called me she ended up missing her exit, but thankfully there was TWO exits to Olds. I breathed a sigh of relief when the text came that she made it!

Cooper made it to 6:45Pm before he couldn't stay awake for one more minute. He fell asleep within seconds of getting his bottle and I was able to sit in the quiet nursery enjoying the babe kicking away in my tummy. I felt so blessed as I stared at his sweet little face and thought about the joys of having teens and babes all at once.

I finished my evening off chatting with Hyrum and Joe in the living room. I was sitting in a chair enjoying the quiet and they came into the room and each plopped down on a couch. They chatted and chatted and I listened attentively, soaking in the moment as much as I could. They were happy, ready to listen, and agreeable. We talked about school, future plans, their dreams for the next few years. We laughed and joked and truly enjoyed one another's company! It was late and I could have told them I was tired, but moments like these...you don't let them pass. You savor them, you teach them, you learn about them. My heart was full as they hugged me tight and went to bed. I was so grateful for the time we spent together.
