We had the opportunity to listen to the morning session of General Conference. I realized, with an active 9 month old, that I had a difficult time focusing on the talks! Elder Neil A. Anderson's talk is titled, "You Know Enough" and he shares a time when he gave a blessing and in it he felt impressed to say, "Faith is not only a feeling; it's a decision. He would need to choose faith." I realized more about how agency-the freedom to choose- affects our lives and those around us. How blessed we are to have these teachings to guide us in this adventurous life!
Savannah played and then had a nap, with her Daddy, as you can see in the below picture. He has a way of getting her to go to sleep-on him, so that he can hold her!! He loves it and I think it is so sweet!!
During the Afternoon Session of Conference, we spent some time with Clark again, going to Walmart (Savannah needed some baby food). We ended up walking around and Clark and Savannah got tired out. We took Clark to his home so he could rest for the night and then Jason got dressed and went to the Priesthood session with his Uncle and Cousins. It's tradition in their family that the sons (those that live close by) will join their dad in attending this session while the wives and family come to the house to visit and get dinner ready. Once the men return, then they eat and there's ice cream for dessert. So below, is a picture of Savannah just before her Daddy left to go with Uncle Carl and cousins, Quinton, Tony, and Craig to Priesthood Session.
Savannah missed her Daddy and loved being in his arms!
On occasion she would let me hold her too!
She discovered the joy of balloons on this night! She kept chasing after it and pulling on the balloon, thus making that squeaky noise it makes and she LOVED it!! You can see it in the photo below!
Jason's other cousin, Shauna, came over as well-her husband was away on a business trip-with her kids. Needless to say, there was a small crowd at Uncle Carl and Aunt Launa's house with all the cousins and kids! Yet, you could tell that they thoroughly enjoyed having their family around. We enjoyed being there to share in the happiness and visiting with the cousins. I would be thrilled to have my children and grandchildren around me when we are older. How blessed we are to know that Families can be Together Forever. It gives us a much deeper sense of what families mean to us.
