Krellnk

Nope, I did not miss spell anything on the title of this post. Kellen told me this morning that he didn't like being named K-E-L-L-E-N. He spelled out the name that he wanted. K-R-E-L-L-N-K. I told him that his name would be Krellnk instead. I thought he would think it was funny. Nope, he liked it! Funny guy!

A sweet whisper

Today was the annual ward Christmas program. Our ward has several talented people in it and the Christmas program was excellent. Tom was asked to narrate the first portion of the program. He read a poem written by a member in the ward that was a different version of The Night Before Christmas. It was such a nice poem BUT Tom accidentally started out with "T'was the nightmare before Christmas. OOPS! Everybody got a good laugh. Tom was slightly embarrassed but I thought it was funny.

During the program the kids and I sat in the overflow because Tom was on the stand. The kids love music so they sat on my lap and actually listened instead of drawing. It was the sweetest thing! Our kids are getting so big and it's nice to know that they can both still fit on my lap. Then Kellen whispered the sweetest thing in my ear, "Mom, I love church." Be still my heart. For months we have been fighting with him to even put church clothes on, let alone sit still and listen. Lately, his greatest goal is to be like Jesus. I said a thank you prayer in my heart. The spirit can truly touch our hearts, especially hearts as pure and wonderful as Kellens. Then Katie pulled out a picture of the Savior and drew one just like it. I teared up. I am so grateful that I have two little wonderful spirits with me each day. I am very blessed~
