"If an error has been made in our parenting, the best course is to recognize it, correct it, and move forward, grateful that repentance is available and aware that perfect parents do not exist."

Today would have been my dad's 84th birthday.
Happy Birthday Dad.
I have had two bad falls in the past two weeks. One when I was standing on a chair in our bedroom turning the fan on. I leaned to far and the chair tipped over. I landed on the soft carpet so I wasn't hurt too badly. Today around 5am I had just come out of the bathroom and tripped over a basket I had set in the hallway. I landed hard on the hardwood floor and immediately a huge purple grapefruit sized bruise formed on my left hip. No pictures please!
This one is going to be around for awhile. At least I can still walk.
It's a little difficult to sit though so during scripture time I laid down on the bed and James read to me.
Jared and Emmy got here around noon today. Jared is spending the weekend with her doing whatever she wants. Her cousins Addy and Brianna are still in school so they had a little time to kill. The three of us played a game of Five Crowns and Jared won. After the game they went shopping to get Emmy some new shows before picking up Addy and Brianna and going to Amazing Jakes.

Well, we did it. Joshua's room is finished and he's all moved in and the living room is ready for Jared and Emmy. I was beginning to wonder if we would ever finish but we did and both rooms look pretty good. Jared is sleeping on the comfy couch in the living room and Addy and Emmy are sleeping on the air mattress. Brianna couldn't spend the night because she has a dance competition in the morning.
The girls and Joshua watched Big Hero Six until about 10pm and then they went to bed because we are all going to a soccer game that starts at 8 in the morning.
