Sunday afternoon in the South

What do you do after a big Sunday dinner in the south?
It seems to be contagious at our house...


Jacob taking a brief moment to recharge.

The Bishop when he finally gets to come home after Church.

Will enjoying that post mission naptime.

Uncle Pete taking a break after his Sat. trip to the beach with his new toy. Sorry to say he reported- no success this time. ( Check out Libbi's blog if you need explanation.)"Teen" Davey boy doesn't miss any opportunity for rest!

And for the cutest pair of the day....Sara Beth and Conner. (Remember when you had that much energy and carefree smiles.) I am so glad they could come and visit today.

Lots of love and stitches went into this little blessing dress. I can hardly wait to welcome our beautiful little Chloe Abigail Edwards into our lives. Grammy is counting down the days!

Gifts of the spirit

I came across a wonderful statement this morning in my seminary lesson that made me reflect on family and friends that have used their gifts to bless my life. As I read each gift I could think of a family member or friend who possessed that gift. Take a look below and see if you find the ones that makes me think of you.


“Let us review some of these less-conspicuous gifts:

the gift of asking; the gift of listening; the gift of hearing and using a still, small voice; the gift of being able to weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of being agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition; the gift of seeking that which is righteous; the gift of not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for guidance; the gift of being a disciple; the gift of caring for others; the gift of being able to ponder; the gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a mighty testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost”
Marvin J. Ashton,(in Conference Report, Oct. 1987, 23; or Ensign, Nov. 1987, 20 ).

I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who cares for each of his children and blesses us each day with what we stand in need of. This morning a co-worker asked me was I ready for another day. I commented "It is a gift". I hope your gift of another day is wonderful just like you!
