Other things may change us, but we start and end with family. Anthony Brandt
“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Wow, I didn't realize that Jakob is in 1st grade! For some reason, I thought he was the same age as Ben and AJ...1st grade was a huge adjustment for Zach. So much homework! I hope it's not as bad for Jakob. I'm excited to get together with you once we're up there!
