Can you just tell how funky and fun their relationship is?!!? They are quite entertaining to be around!
This little man started out so tiny and now he is a chunky monkey!!! He is so cute and looks very much like his daddy. He is full of smiles and gets loads of attention from his adoring brothers and sister. What a sweet little man he is!Years ago Keith gave me this book which I have read, re-read and thought about a lot over the years. I had miss placed it and was so happy to lay my hands on it again. I want to share a few thoughts from it:
1. We owe it to our husband/wife, co-workers, children, friends and our God to be as happy as we can be. It is a moral obligation. This is not to say that we can't share occasional sadness, discouragement, etc. But we owe it to other in our lives to learn to be mostly happy.
2. Unhappiness is easy - happiness takes work. This may come as a surprise. We think that it should come automatically through no effort on our part but that is not so. Happiness is largely, though certainly not entirely, determined by us - through hard work in controlling our nature and through attaining wisdom/developing attitudes that keep us from despair.
3. Seek to do good and find good. Reaching outside of ourselves to do good to others brings more peace and happiness to us. Make others happy and you will be happy. Look for the good in every situation and person. Turn lemons into lemonade.
Finally, remember this: "Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God".
Okay, thanks for listening. I feel happy having thought and rambled on a little bit about happiness. If anyone wants to borrow the book, I would be happy to share, but I want it back. It is one of my favorites.
Love you all,
Mom
Oh, Remington!!!! How could we not make time to vote after seeing your pleading eyes and adorable shirt!! You are A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!
Keith and Candice - Thanks for the reminder and for using your cute son to send the message. He is too cute! As a side note, is he sitting in a custom hand crafted chair? Was it made by his very own dad? If so, I am impressed!!
To all our other readers/viewers - You must visit Keith and Candice's Blog where you will find even more pics of photogenic Remington and news of our Texas kids!!!
We had a great time tending Bridget last Tuesday. Mom and Dad went to the temple and Grandma and Grandpa Sano played with the little doll. She was an angel!! It is so fun to watch this new family grow. We are proud of all three of you!!! We love ya!
I haven't been very good about taking pictures but I'm going to try to do better.
When Mike comes home from work he loves to take a nap with his girls. Don't worry, we're careful to put her in her bed before both of us fall asleep.
