Elizabeth to SLC/Second Coming

Friday Derek and I put Elizabeth on a plane by herself and sent her to Salt Lake City for a family reunion at Aspen Grove. I was nervous, she was nervous but I also had a great inner peace. I knew that the Lord was with her and me. That He approved of what we were doing and that He would watch after her. I was so grateful.

She had a layover in Baltimore and I planned on talking to here there and making sure she found her gate but then realized that I would be in the temple when the plan landed. My mom was wonderful and took over this role. When I called after the temple I found that Elizabeth had found her gate without a problem and that she had gotten on the plane and it was in the air flying to Salt Lake.

She arrived in Salt Lake and was greeted by Grandma and Grandpa. She was so excited and so proud of herself. I was so proud of her too. It took a lot of confidence but she did it!! She will be gone for a week and is already having a blast. I don't know if she will get on the plane to come home. ;-)

Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 1:8

"8 But behold, they did watch steadfastly for that day and that night and that day which should be as one day as if there were no night, that they might know that their faith had not been vain."

I wonder as the time for Christ's Second Coming draws closer if the prophets will give us more signs, even signs that have a time period. That we will have to show our faith as we wait and watch for that time.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P

Elizabeth

My darling Elizabeth is so wonderful. At Church I had the pleasure of talking to different people about the great girl she is. I was in the mother's room, feeding Michael, and talked to two other moms. We were discussing the joys and difficulties of raising children. I talked about how I couldn't do it without my Elizabeth. How she is my right hand. She is so good and stepping in and making breakfast or lunch. She loves to make pancakes with chocolate chips. She is great with Michael. I know that I can give him to her and he will be well taken care of. As soon as we pull into the garage she exclaims, "I'll get Michael!" then leaps out of the car and takes him out. I don't know what I would do without her. When Michael was first born and I was constantly feeding, sleeping, and trying to hold the house together she did so much. She was such a huge help. She is going to be a great mother some day. She is so good at talking to children and
