I am a child of God

For FHE last week, we traced the kids onto paper, and then let them fill in the rest. The results were quite cute. David drew his veins, heart, bones (with help from Joseph), and other details. James thoroughly gave himself cloths and hair. Ruthie had some help from mom and dad. They were quite proud of their pictures and enjoyed them for several days.

We love the beach

We have had the most enjoyable weather the past month, with the temperature in the mid 70s most days. The other day I loaded up the kids for an afternoon at the beach. The waves were unusually calm and the sky yielded a perfect blue. With the beach to ourselves, we were in paradise.

I don't know why I even bother with a beach chair because it usually always gets taken over by a sandy child (Ruth, for instance).
