Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Jacob gave me flowers. We bought a new cookbook and board game.

And...

Isaac rolled over for the first time.

Jacob got one on video and if I can figure it out I'll post it here. He rolled from stomach to back and then repeated it three times this morning. I haven't seen it since. I thought for sure once he figured it out he'd do it the second I put him on his stomach because he doesn't love his tummy time. But nope, he hasn't done it again since this morning. Silly baby.

Words of Wisdom

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”

-Marjorie Hinckley

"There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second."

-Logan Pearsall Smith

"Sometimes we fill our lives with hobbies or pursuits that produce more immediate rewards. If we aren't careful, we start to resent our children and see them as obstructions to the things that bring us real pleasure. The key is to discover pleasure in our children--to make them central, to genuinely value them during the relatively short time that they are in our home. The day will come that you will be free to spend whole days any way you want-- you can travel, go to school, or go in your room and shut the door. But today, you are a mother."
-Jane (from blog Asking Jane)

"Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these little ones."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

"Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
-Thomas Carlyle
