Derek got me a new cell phone for "Christmas." It is so fun but I can't get it to display my pictures onto my blog account. So that is why I haven't done anything for a few days. I am still working on the pictures.
But good news Maddie today started Speech Therapy. We have had a hard time understanding her for a while now and it hasn't gotten better. Today the therapist called and we scheduled when she will be coming in. We even got to start today. She had fun and is looking forward to next time. I feel blessed that the School System is paying for it, that we can do it so close to home, and that we got this figured out now and not in Kindergarten.

Also, today I got an email from PNP (Portable North Pole). It is a fabulous website that every year has a video that you can send your kids via email from Santa. You can customize it to each of your children and even choose if they are naughty or nice. We love it and have been doing it for the last several years. My kids look forward to it every year. Best of all it is free. (Click Here to access the website)

the Holy Ghost often teaches our children in the ways they learn best--This is very important to realize. I need to observe each of my children and try to help them recognize how the Holy Ghost talks to them. The other day we were on our way to my Aunt's home for Thanksgiving and we got in traffic. It was getting to be rush hour time and we really didn't want to get caught up in D.C. traffic, but here we were. And to make it worse Michael had had it. He was crying and everyone was on edge. I felt the prompting to pray that we could get out of traffic and get to my Aunt's home quickly. We said a prayer as a family and Derek decided to turn off the freeway and take a side road. As soon as we did that we had not traffic. It was amazing. We were almost the only ones on the road going our direction. The other side of the road was an ocean of headlights. The kids were amazed. After about 5 min. of driving this way John Derek sat up and full of excitement and discovery he said, "This is because we prayed. We prayed that there would not be any traffic and now there is no traffic. Heavenly Father did this." He had caught the light. I knew that this is why I had been prompted to pray. Yes to help our family get to my Aunt's house easier but mostly so that a little boy could witness a miracle. On the way home we again got in traffic. After sitting for 40 min. John Derek suggested we pray. This him he offered the prayer and within min. we were moving and we were able to drive all the way home. It was a sweet experience.

Today I read an article in the Ensign, our Church magazine, entitled Helping Children Recognize the Holy Ghost, by Merrilee Browne Boyack. (Click Here to read/listen to the article.) I enjoyed getting ideas of things I can do to help my family recognize the Holy Ghost. So often I feel that I need to do something but don't know how to apply it in real life.
