To combat my grumpy mood this morning, I recalled a priesthood blessing I received a few months ago. I need (we all need) to treasure moments of happiness and love for our families. Store special times and memories in our heart to pull out and recall in the "not so happy" times. So, this morning I pulled out some mental pictures of my kids - treasured memories and moments guarded in my heart. This immediately softened my heart and I started taking more mental pictures this morning.
That is why there is no picture to accompany this post. Sometimes getting the camera out changes the dynamics of the moment, it changes the "real-ness" of the moment. So, I am taking more time to take the pictures in my head, but more importantly, in my heart.
I love my family, and I will continue to treasure and guard that love!

What! Not get the camera out! Just Kidding. I know what you mean, sometimes I don't get the camera out because I know the kids will start posing. I have a lot of great memories in my mind and in my heart that no one else can see.
Sorry you had a rough morning. Glad you found a way to make everything better. You are awesome. I love you!
I certainly treasure the moments this past weekend because I have no pictures! But Bob Sr. does, so we'll just have to steal his for the blog.
I miss you already. Thanks for coming down this weekend. I love you lots :)
