Our Walk and Our Talk

Nicole woke up feeling fine. She was super hungry which is always a good sign after the stomach flu. She then got to playing with her dolls. Here she is prepping Hallie and friends for their "pa-forance". So cute.


Sarah came over to bring some Alaskan souvenirs. She bought treasures for all the nieces and nephews. It was so thoughtful of her and the kids loved them!


I reread this Friend article by President Uchtdorf today. I just love this message for our family. I've been keeping it in mind as I've been busy mothering today and it's helped me quite a bit. I should keep this idea in mind for our back to school 2014-2015 theme.

"Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of everything we do. Love unites families. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, and respect. It overcomes hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with joy. Love should be our walk and our talk.
Love is the measure of our faith and the inspiration for our obedience. Love is the way of the disciple.
Let us be known as a people who love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and who love our neighbor as ourselves. When we understand and practice these two great commandments, we will begin to understand what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus the Christ."
