Sunday Best

These kids just looked so cute one Sunday all dressed and ready for church.  They are such good examples to me.  They have embraced their new surroundings much better than I have.  They have even become closer through this whole process.  Infact, right after we moved in our family was invited to speak in church.  Emery and Cambree both agreed to speak along with me and Bryan.  As we were sitting on the stand waiting for sacrament to start, Cambree started to get nervous and very anxious.  So Emery willingly offered to read Cambree's talk for her to help out.  That was such a relief to Cambree and I know Emery felt good inside for doing it.

During my talk I had to share a story that recently happened right after we moved in.  During the first couple of weeks we would have different people from church stop by and introduce themselves.  One day I was on the phone with Bryan and was upset about something....just emotional stuff.  I heard Cambree say someone was coming to the door.  A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Cambree said, "Mommy, they are selling cookies."  I hollered back to her to let them no that sorry we didn't have any money right now.  So Cambree passed along the message, but it was actually someone from the ward introducing themselves and bringing cookies over to be nice.  I was so embarrassed.  I'm sure they were thinking typical Californians....haha.  No I'm sure they weren't, but we all had a good laugh.

During this time we have enjoyed the quiet life, no activities pulling us in different directions, no friends calling all the time to play, it has been a nice time for us to be together and rely on eachother a little more.  For that I am thankful.
