Tonight after reading scriptures we wrote in our gratitude journals. I wrote that I was grateful for prophets and apostles. I asked the kids if they knew who the prophet was. Gehrig said, “I can’t remember.” Gracie said. “President Monson. I then asked if they know who one of the apostles was. Gracie said, “I don’t know.” To our shock, Gehrig said, “President Oof-dorf!” [Uchtdorf].

disclaimer: Now, lest anyone think that our 3 year old is that bright, I venture to say it was a lucky guess because even though we have never told our kids the names of the 12 apostles or first presidency (which, yes, we should) I did read to Gehrig this morning from the Friend short articles about the first presidency. I’m still surprised that he remembered his name because I didn’t think he was paying attention to anything while I was reading.

Yesterday I came out of my office to find Gracie had covered the walls with Post-It Note drawings. No worries. I still have tons of Post-It’s from 3M Employee Pallet sales

Here are a few of my favorites (yes, they were bright pink, I don’t know how my scanner made the background light blue…)

When people ask us who our kids look like, we tend to say “us”. They have both of our features. Well it appears the computer application at MyHeritage.com agrees: (Come on, we all know Gehrig looks just like ME!)
