I couldn't stop thinking about my dream, that there was more too it and I found myself thinking about it on and off for a few days until one day I understood.
I am always trying to find new insights and ideas into parenting, but I don't usually turn to the scriptures for advice. I realize now that I need to make use of the principles already taught by Jesus himself and stop looking for better, more modern, prettier ideas.
I meantto do all I can to be a good parent, but, now I am reminded to turn back to His instructions and pay more attention to His spirit as I has promised I would so long ago.
Now that I get it, I think I will be remembering this dream for a long time.

Our Adoption Story - Part 13 - Photos
(I almost hate to post this tonight when I just learned that a good friend of mine just adopted a baby boy --- I hope no one thinks I'm trying to steal the attention she should be getting. Go HERE if you want to read about a newly announced adoption.)
It's already close to a year since I posted our adoption story and said that I hoped to put photos with it. This last week I finally hunted down the disk those were on (thanks to a scrapbooking/family history lesson this week that motivated me to find it). So, here we have it. Below are a few of my favorites photos of my beautiful babies almost SEVEN years ago!!!!!!!

Pepper Water
Sitting around the dinner table eating a bedtime snack --- celery (because it's suppose to work like an antacid).
Alyssa: Mommy, I wish we could get paid money to go to church.
Me: Some things are better than money (...thinking about treasures in heaven). Going to church helps us to become more like Jesus --- and becoming like Him will make it so you can receive many of His blessings.
Payton: Jesus has very important work for me to do. Like going on a mission! (He gives a HUGE smile. He's really excited to do this.)
Eli: If you could go anywhere in the world on your mission, where would you want to go?
Payton: Salt Lake City!
Me: That would be a great place to go.
Eli: Do you know why they call it "Salt Lake"?
Alyssa: Because it's a lake and it has salt in it.
Eli: (surprised) That's right!
Alyssa: (blushing because she's so smart)
Payton: (very matter-of-factly) Did you know sharks don't like salt water? They only like pepper water.
Me: ???? (hu?)
