He who can no longer pause to
wonder and stand rapt in awe, is
as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
~Albert Einstein~
We are so often told to become as a little child. I think one of those reasons is a child’s ability to be in awe of the simplest things. One of the things that I love most about Dallin is that he is such a deep thinker. He finds a reason for everything. For him, everything needs an explanation. And if one is not readily available, he makes up his own. He told me the other day that the reason we have families is so that everyone can have someone to take care of them. Everything is on a grander scale to him. He doesn’t just draw pictures. He creates a masterpiece. Everything has purpose. His faith in people and in God is sure and unquestioned. I want to become not like just any child, but very much like him. And like Mandy with her sincere desire to love and let everyone know that they are loved by her. And like Layton with his smile that makes everyone around him a little happier when they see it. I think that maybe the reason we have families is so that parents can learn to become as a little child.

You are so right.And Dallin too. Families do take care of eachother! My children teach me something new everyday. I love how each one brings something different to the family. Children are a wonder!! I love being a mom.
Sometimes I wonder how I am supposed to teach abigail and even Harris whe I learn something new and amazing from them everyday.
Faith is a increidable gift to have. Dallin will make a excellent missionary one day. I am sure when he is a husband and a father he will be a excellent caregiver.
Mandy is a smart girl the ability to share your love and forgive is a incrediblly hard thing to do at times. I will have to take some leasons from her. Maybe she can share her secrets with me? I love your children they always seems to happy. That shows what a great mom you are! Cute post!
