Update

Things that have stuck out to me:


In church on Sunday another speaker mentioned Hadley's sweet testimony that she shared a few weeks back during the primary presentation.  I've heard from so many people about how she touched them and shared that with her.  I hope she remembers it.  She also got asked to sing at a baptism by her violin teacher very last minute but she happily rehearsed and did it.  I laugh because in the morning while I was sitting with her watching Vincent's soccer game she said she was so nervous.  She wasn't nervous though about the solo, it was for her soccer game that was afterward the baptism.  She is so funny like that - she'd rather sing a solo than speak or play a soccer game.


Lauren continues to be such a help with Bridget.  Last Thursday we found ourselves at the library and storytime was about to start.  It was for little ones with lots and lots of singing/dancing, action songs and a couple books.  Lauren was so eager to participate with Bridget and helped her do all of the things.  It was nice for me to just sit and watch the two of them - took some pictures and video as well.  I know that Bridget looks up to Lauren so much.  Lauren is always so aware of games or whatever Bridget is up to.


Gentry must be going through a 6-year old phase.  On top of not being very helpful, complaining about most things and being very very picky about what she wears she is also afraid of going to bed alone, in the dark, by herself.  She watched something scary at Halloween time and is convinced her closet is spooky and locks the door all the time now.  Ahh, this too shall pass . . . I think her siblings are anxious for it too because they don't like sleeping with the lights on or having Gentry get in their beds.


We should finally be moving in the next couple weeks.  The house is relatively finished although I'm just realizing right now it won't be painted before we move in I guess because we haven't decided on a color.
