This is an old post that never got posted:
Monday was the first day of school. All the kids started new schools so it was new for everyone. Over all the day went good. People seemed pretty happy.
Samantha had the hardest time but going the middle school is hard. I keep telling her she can do hard things. This summer she climbed a rock wall and did a ropes course at Aspen Grove. I remember being a teenager and doing the course. I thought is was very difficult and have had no desire to do it again. It was very difficult for her but she did not give up. She kept at it even when she would fall. I was proud of her. She can do hard things.
Lately Heavenly Father has been helping me feel like I am a good mom. As I have tried to get the family ready for this new school year I had a lot to coordinate. As I moved though all the ins and outs I was told at little moments, "See, you are doing this because you love your kids/You are a great mom/You love your kids." It was nice to hear the Lord's confidence in me.
Derek gave everyone blessings for the new school year. He blessed them all with their weaknesses, blessed them all with friends, and that they are loved. For me I was blessed that my feet would get better this year, that I would be able to listen to my children and only give advice when it was needed but to mostly listen. I was told that my Father in Heaven is proud of me. I felt that he was impressed that I had all of my kids. I was told that He loves me and that my husband loves me. It was a very sweet blessing and just what I needed.

| Michael was so tired after his 1st day of school that when we went shopping he just laid his head on the cart and would ask every few minutes if we could go home. |

Dedication Day
"A pattern of prayer."
We need to have prayer with each of the children before they leave the house. We can do it in the car or right before we leave, but it needs to be done.
How do we make our home like this?“A true Mormon home is one in which if Christ should chance to enter, he would be pleased to linger and to rest.”
