Grant, Christine, Grace, Thaddeus, Madelyn & Ephraim: Rhyme Time

"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 a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors 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

Rhyme Time

Grace has recently learned to rhyme. I can tell you this has to be one of my favorite things! She comes up to us so excited and says, "Mom, dad and tad rhyme!!" and she really is SO excited.
Thaddeus is learning to count. It is so cute and I blame it on the age. He has it in his head that 2 is 3 and everytime you give him 2 things he says 3, and he will ask for 3 and mean 2. Anyway, this is how he counts, "two, three, two, three" or, "three, two, three".
I guess Grace will be our english wiz and TD our math wiz :)
