Day Dates

Sky and I have been planning our first real date together for a little while. Most of her outings and one-on-one time seem to be with Austin, but I really felt like doing something just the 2 of us. Now that Sky's almost 3, Austin and I have decided to take turns doing dates with her. We want to with all of our kids when the time comes. We have been praying about the specific needs of our family and children and I love the new traditions we have been starting. I feel like we are growing together and I feel so blessed!

Anyway, Sky and I had a date at the park where she road her bike around and we laughed and talked. We also went out for some frozen yogurt. I love my little girl. She is so much like me, but much stronger. She is such a blessing to our family.

During this "thankful" month where everyone seems to be sharing what they're thankful for, I am most grateful for my sweet family and the gospel. Without a relationship with my Heavenly Father and Christ, I would be so lost, but I feel their love for me, my husband, and each of my children. It is such a neat experience and I treasure it above anything else. Every moment counts when you're a mom, there's always teachable moments, and sometimes it's overwhelming to know if what you do every day is good enough. I have a testimony that God does let us know! He'll tell us when we're doing great and He'll tell us where we need to improve. I hope to live my life in a way that makes my Father proud. Hold me to it. ;)
