Farewell Grandma Kippy

(with Uncle Scott standing guard)

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997

Two questions miss lollygirl!
1. can you tell me how to get the tracker-thingy you mentioned today so I can put it on my blog? sounds nifty. and
2. is it supposed to say Califronia at the top of your home page (next to the photo and near the 'about me' section? Maybe I'm too much of a compulsive proof-reader and don't know a joke when I see one? :-)
oops, sorry for derailing the subject of your post... nice pictures by the way!
Thanks for posting over at my blog! Hooray, I have an audience now!! :-)
I'm a friend of Pheobe's and was looking on your blog and see that there is a Morganne in your family. My daughter spells her name that way and I haven't seen it anywhere else. I love that name.
Jenni,
She isn't actually "Morganne" on her birth certificate. They changed it from the tradition spelling: Morgan to Morganne because they thought it was more feminine and she was often mistaken for a boy. It is cute!! Thanks for the comment.
Lolly,
All of the pictures at Scott and Shelli's so very cute.I really had to look close at the one of Jaden with Morganne.I couldn't tell if it was Ashlyn, Lexi, or maybe even a inserted picture of Shelli. But Morganne I initially really didn't see.
Is Kip really getting ready to go yet? Your Dad looks and I know is so happy to be so involved in your life. I am so happy for you both. And yes Grandma...Eternally Young Grandma. How fun for her! I miss everyone so much. Don't know how Grandma Kip is going to handle being gone so long. I know she is happy but I know it will also be hard for her to be away from everyone.
Lolly, I don't have a laptop with me, but there is a computer room made availabe for guests here at the hotel, and we are allowed to use them when we want.
Today we don't have appointments until 2:30pm so I have a free morning. Tomorrow will be a little busier and our morning starts out at 6:45am. So its nice to have a break.
Love you much! Tell Micah and the boys Mimi says HI,HI,HI. and I love them sooooooooooooo mmmuuuccchhhooo!
Sorry about the deleted comment...(I hate to read my own mistakes)...
You have put some time into your blog. It is nice to see what is going on over there.
Those are some great photos. And I love to eat at IKEA as well. I recommend buying the Vanilj Sas to pour over an apple cobbler
We missed you this weekend, but it was nice to have company. Especially to see Kip before she leaves. Don't get too many visits on the east side.
Hope to see you guys soon!
Dan
So mom, are you checking an email account while you're there? Can I email you?
It's so fun to see you posting here!!
We miss you, too and I keep up-to-date via Grandma, of course. How was the movie yesterday? Good thing you got that new cell phone service so she can call you whenever she wants. :)
Great times are always spent with family, and it gives kids some of the best memories in their lives. Thanks for sharing!
