Oh my little squeaker :0)
Family Home Evening
This morning I was sweeping the floor. I was first amazed that I had swept and mopped just over a day ago and that all of this was on the floor this morning to greet me. But then I was thinking of what it represents: dirt tracked in from little shoes that finally had a warm enough day to play outside, cheerios spilled at a breakfast spent together, paper scraps from a family valentines project. What a great weekend it was. And...I've been thinking, if I am helping to shape and mold lives (much like a sculptor chiseling at marble to make a masterpiece), then here are hundreds of tiny pieces of evidence that sculpting on my masterpieces took place this weekend :0)
Alex helped me put up the glow-in-the-dark stars in the family room for my birthday dinner.
