WHAT'S IN A WINK

Dear babies: So, today I was thinking about all of the great winks that I have seen. The thing is... that you just don't see people wink much any more. Over the years, I have learned that a wink tells someone that you love them and you are thinking of them - when you can't be near them, touch them, or tell them out loud that you love them. I think the master of wink was your Dad. Thales would be across the room and make eye contact with a quick wink. If he wasn't snuggling with you or if he didn't have his arm around you or his hand on you, then he was winking at you. His wink always said I'm thinking of you, I love you, and I'd love to hug you. I tried to find a picture of Thales winking, but had no luck. All I could find were pictures of him snuggling or holding each of you - and me. It was fun to look at those pictures and remember what a "touchy" family we are. I miss the winks. I did manage to find one of his earlier winks. And, I thought I send you one of mine - just to let you know, I'm thinking of you, loving you, and wishing I could hug you. Love Momma

Life is Water Polo

Life is water polo - after school that is. Life is grand. Life begins at 5am and ends hopefully by 11pm. Life is lots of school and lots of work. Life is homework. But most of all life is obedience. What makes our life so perfectly wonderful is knowing that our Heavenly Father knows us. He answers our prayers. He watches us as we follow the Prophet - right down to the first prayer in the morning and last one at night. I can't adequately describe how wonderful it feels to love being obedient and feeling the blessings that come from the simple acts that He has asked us to do. Yep... I am still a blessed woman!
