The Whalen family and their newborn baby boy!

 

I slept in until after six this morning.  I stayed up past my bedtime last night talking to Kim and Stacy and reading to James.  I had the bean and cheese I ordered from Elmer's last night for breakfast.  What a way to start the day!

 

I finished preparing for the Easter lesson we are giving today, and James read it through for the first time.  We are about as prepared as we can be for four year olds.

 

Jana and Logan Hancock were the speakers in sacrament meeting.  Sister Hancock shared a quote, and I didn't get the source, but I loved the quote:

 "Having the Holy Ghost as our constant companion is the ultimate indicator that we are acceptable before the Lord."

 

Here is a quote I liked from Brother Hancock's talk:

"The Savior suffered so that we could be together."

 

Stacy did the music in Primary today and Joshua gave a talk about prophets and he said three of his favorite prophets were from the Book of Mormon: Lehi, Nephi, and Abinadi.  He also finished reading the Book of Mormon today and so did Addy.  I am so proud of them!

A picture of Addy will be forthcoming.

 

Our Primary class was exceptionally good today during singing and sharing time.  Taylor came in crying because she misses her mom who is home taking care of her dad so she had to sit on Brother Lambson's lap for awhile but the she was fine.  Malachi was an angel and Shade was so much better than last week.   Isaiah was a

 problem in class and I wanted James to take him to his mother but we held off and he got a little better.  I was ready for a Dr. Pepper Ten when I got home. 

 

Michael went to a fireside tonight and wore one of James's shirts his mother got him for Christmas.  It's dark blue with long sleeves and a button down collar.  It looked very nice on him.  Don't ask me why I didn't get a picture.
