Cameron: "Mom, why does Claire look like she has marshmallows in her cheeks?"
I don't know Cameron, but like you're one to talk...!!!
(Cam G at a week or two old. I love this picture. Hilarious!)
Anyway.
Life is good. Life is so, SO good.
My sweet visiting teacher came over earlier this week, and she shared a thought with me that I really loved and needed to hear and that has stuck with me as I go about my days since. The prophet Joseph Smith said to the sisters of the Church: "If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates."
During my entire pregnancy, I prayed every night for strength and joy as a mother of three. These past few weeks, I have truly felt the peaceful assistance of angels in my home and lifting me and comforting me and I have felt So Much JOY. I have felt that I am NOT alone in my quest to raise these sweethearts. Heavenly Father wants my babies to succeed and return to Him even more than Nate and I do. He won't leave us alone here on earth to try and arm these children with righteousness and morality and obedience on our own. He has lovingly given us prophets, scriptures, commandments, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and yes, even the company of angels. My Patriarchal Blessing says that angels will always be waiting and watching to come to my assistance when needed. Sometimes those angels come in the form of friends or family, and sometimes they truly are an unseen force that lighten my burdens and help me get through my personal journey on earth.
I love this picture. Angels helping those early Saints push and pull their handcarts. I have no doubts that this was true....because it still is today!
Cute Roo in her "candyland jammies".
Things I want to remember about my beautiful baby:
Claire LOVES taking baths.
Her eyes are already turning a gorgeous shade of dark blue.
She didn't get a cheek dimple like her siblings, but she has two tiny dimples in her chin!
She LOVES to be kissed on her chubby cheeks...she gets all excited and makes cute noises.
She loves it when Cam and Roo talk to her.
She has less-thick hair than Roo did at this age (people always ask me about that).
She never fusses during diaper changes, which is nice because she poops about 400 times a day.
We love you sweet Claire!
