Good Memories

This morning I've started my day fighting the blues. I really intended for today to be great, and I'm still working towards that. After my run (that didn't feel like I did very well but I'm glad I did it anyway) I usually get home right before or as the kids wake up and I'll check my email. As I was sitting at the computer, Patch came running in and asked if I would hold him. I grabbed him right up! He was nestling into my lap and he started to sing I Am A Child of God. I couldn't help but see that as a sign that my loving Heavenly Father was looking out for me today.
One of the things my kids and I do is the ASL for I love you when they get out of the car to go to school. Tyler is at the stage where he will do it, but check to see if anyone is watching. It's kind of funny and sad at the same time. Caely finds joy and feels special because we do this. Lexi and Patch want to be like the older kids, so they do it when they go off to friends, but mostly they get a few wrong fingers up. It all means the same. Today when I dropped off Alexa, she jumped out and immediately put her hands up in the I love you sign. She did it perfect! I love my kids!!
