checkin in

This week Emry had to give a talk in primary. Such a big deal. It makes them feel so good and special. I make sure that what I write comes from them. I jotted down a few sentences that she said were her testimony of Jesus Christ, and how she felt his love. I was so ontop of it on Wednesday.
Owen is not liking nursery, today his has a runny nose so Ryan just took him to class. After I finished my class, it was my turn so I talked him into going to nursery with me. I snuck out the last 15 min and just stood in the hall.
Michelle came to tell me that Emry had a talk today. (when she said that I honestly ALMOST cried. I was soooo mad at myself for forgetting. She said that Emry was sooo excited and got up to give it, but she just told her she could give it next week.(I honestly felt like I was so lost in helping my other child that I forgot about Em. My mind flashed to getting ready for church and how we weren't flustered today, everyone was good we were at church on time, I even did some visiting teaching this morning. So I had to beat myself up for forgetting just a little bit.
I apologized to Emry and didn't say much, but she held up a bright orange card and said " LOOK MOM, I get to give 2 talks" with so much excitement in her voice.
It melted my heart. She didnt' care that I had forgotten, she just felt special that she gets to give ANOTHER talk. I love my kids so much. My heart is so full right now. I am very grateful for their health and how beautiful they are, how neat their hearts are, and just how stinkin fun they are. We had a great day. We have our family meeting every Sunday now, and I asked Emry what we should call it, her first response was "castle sports" so that is what we call it.
I know we are being blessed and the spirit is strong in our home. We are trying to read scriptures and pray and have FHE more often and I can feel the difference. I love that I can send Ash off to school knowing that she has the gospel in her heart.
The only words that I can think of right now are that I am filled with such gratitude. Thank you, Heavenly Father.
