Tender Moments

Sometimes it's the one tender moment that makes a hard day worth the effort. I put Sam to bed last night (Mike usually does, but he was at the gym). I was tucking him in and out of nowhere Sam asked, "Where does Jesus live?" I told him in Heaven with Heavenly Father. He said, "With Heavenly Father and Father (Pres) Hinckley?" He made that connection on his own, it's so fun to see his thought process.

It's also fun when Sam takes a phrase we use all the time and uses it himself. Yesterday he knocked something to the floor where my "to organize" pile was, so we ran to see what happened. When we saw Sam standing over the item that fell, Mike asked what he was doing. Sam's response was, "Just hanging out."

Sam asked Mike to help him put the safety glasses on, and then started playing on the saw table like he knew exactly what to do (Mike lowered the blade and watched closely).

We went to our favorite spot in the canyon, but we didn't get any great shots. Above would have been a lot better if we could have gotten the tripod a few feet higher. That's what we get for finding a cool log on a hill.
This was the best shot of Sam and Will. Sam was really not into the pictures, so we took what we could get. We love this little place, and it's always deserted on Tuesdays. Some time we'll have to bring someone up with us to take pictures.

Mike is getting the last shelf put up in our closet, so I'll have pictures soon. I'm so excited to have a real closet!
