This past week I went to lunch with the Elementary kids. It is amazing that just me coming to lunch with them, sitting at a special table, and picking two friends to eat lunch with can make these kids feel so special. I really think I need to do this more often. It is good for them to feel special.
Hanging out with John Derek and his friends made me realize how "normal" John Derek is. When I was trying to get a picture each of the boys took turns making weird faces and of course trying to photo bomb the picture. Just like my John Derek does all the time. He is awesome.
I got to see Maddie in a setting I don't usually see her in. She was happy and confident. I got to meet friends of hers and was told what a good girls she was by her teacher and how much they enjoy having her in their class. She really is a good girl.
It was fun to see Samantha truly enjoying her friends. I met girls I had never met before and got to see the delight in Samantha's eyes of being there with her. She loved showing Michael off and was very good about following the rules and doing what she should. She is so sweet.
Michael was a trooper. He came with me all three days, usually during nap time. He smiled and laughed and wanted to be just like the big kids. He is delightful.

Filling Our Homes with Light and Truth
"When filled with the Spirit and with gospel truth, we have the power to withstand the outside forces of the world that surround and push against us. However, if we are not filled spiritually, we don’t have the inner strength to resist the outside pressures and can collapse when forces push against us."
I
feel that right now my family needs to be filled. They do not need
criticism or continual correction from me, they need to be filled with
light and truth and especially love.
