Happy Birthday Ellie!!!


Ellie had a birthday party. She is now 14 . . . I mean 4. Well, at least she thinks she's older. Ellie has really been looking forward to having a party.  Every day she would invite someone new to her party.  Recently in the middle of Sacrement Meeting, she saw a boy her age walking by us.  She tried to stopped him and invite him to her birthday party. More about her birthday will be posted later.

Family Members Have Important Responsibilities!


Today Ellie gave her first talk in Primary. We are so proud of her. She got a little nervous at first, but did great job. She helped write the talk and added the roles of parents and children in her own family.


Here's her talk:

Family Members have important responsibilities. A responsibility is a necessary job. If you don’t do your responsibilities, others may be sad.

Father’s responsibility is to preside in the home. He holds the priesthood and works hard to provide for his family. My dad is working hard on getting a job.

Mothers work very hard too. Their responsibility is to take care of their children.

My mother takes care of my sister and me. She makes good food to eat and teaches me to keep my room clean.

Brothers and Sisters should get along and obey their parents. My sister is too little to listen, but when she is bigger, I will help her learn to be obedient.

I am thankful for my family. I am glad we each have responsibilities so we can help each other. I love my family.

4 months


It is hard to believe that 4 months have already gone by since Claire was born. She is a lot of fun, and keeps us smiling. One of her favorite things is sitting up and watching everyone around her. She doesn't enjoy of laying down, especially on her tummy (probably because she is a very social baby). She loves to talk and growl.
