Well this post is really more for me than anyone else. I was thinking about my boys the other day. It started when I was watching them in Nursery (yesterday was Kaels first day). Cullan loves to help, and so he was helping his teacher hang pictures up, put chairs away etc. I thought I wonder if he will always be this sweet and helpful. I mean don't get me wrong, he can have his moments. But all in all I think that I have to pretty good kids. Anyways as I was standing there I was thinking how much they will face in their lives growing up. I was thinking "How do I try and keep them sweet and nice". Then I thought of this talk that my friend PT Nelson gave me a long time ago. I think he used it during a lesson he was teaching. Anyways I was re-reading it last night and I was thinking of how many of these qualities Garran has. That gave me some hope because I have always thought, if the boys could become somewhat like Garran we will be doing alright. As I read this talk, it reminded me how much I loved listening to President Hinckley. He had a way of relating to people and understanding what might be troubling people. I am sure all parents want the best for their kids, but I think that I will hang on to this for future reference. I think it might apply to them even earlier than the title says.. if you are interested in reading it you can look here.

I have worried about my kids....doing some of the things I did as a teenager. I know that if the parents are a good example of the Savior, then even if your kids go astray....they will always remember you and the love they feel from you...and they will come home.
( something my mom told me once)
I think your kids couldn't have better examples than you and Garran. They are lucky ducks!
