Growing up so fast!

Until I get a new camera here are some of my favorite pictures of the girls. They are growing up so fast! I already miss them and they are not even out of my hair yet. I know that the day will come when it will be time for them to move on and have families of their own but until then I just want them to know what an honor it is to be raising them with the short time that I have as their mother. May I teach them the ways of the Lord and instill his eternal plan.


"If a child lives with parents for 18 or 19 years, that span is only one-fourth of a parent’s life. And the most formative time of all, the early years in a child’s life, represents less than one-tenth of a parent’s normal life. It is crucial to focus on our children for the short time we have them with us and to seek, with the help of the Lord, to teach them all we can before they leave our homes. This eternally important work falls to mothers and fathers as equal partners."

Elder Russell M. Ballard
