Here is Eden on her first day of Primary!!!! I am dying that she is old enough to go. It seems like we just barely put her in nursery and I didn't know what to do with myself because I had two free hours to really enjoy church! She did a fabulous job and really had fun. I know she loved singing time and I think she felt cool to be around all the bigger kids too, even though there was probably only 15 kids total (junior and senior primary classes combined!!!) We have a rather small youth in our ward and hopefully that will change but I sure do not want to lose any of the other families in our ward. We truly have a special ward. I knew it the first week we attended. We have so often been recipients of service from it's members over the 4 years we have been there. When I was on bed rest with my twin pregnancy they brought in dinners for 2 months and then when the pregnancy failed, everyone was incredible (sending cards and gifts, planting rose bushes in our yard, etc.) Now with Paul's failing health, everyone is always showing concern, praying, giving little acts of kindness, and the list goes on. It is sometimes easier to serve than be served especially when you feel like you have had your turn and are sick of needing that help but I hope everyone gets the chance to be in the receiving end once in their lifetime to teach them what the Saviors love through the hands of others really feels like. As Paul and I have mentioned before, it is like the arms of Him are literally around you and are there to hold you up.

Garrett was not quite so happy for Sunbeams..he wanted to go back to nursery for the snacks. So glad your ward is caring for you so well...we wish we could be there serving you too! Loved seeing you, wish it could have been more!
Yay! Eden, good job.. I am so glad she had a good day, it's hard to see the babies growing up so fast.
Wahoo Eden! I loved seeing the cute new sunbeams come into primary in our old ward. I can just picture her so cute in the little chairs on the front row, how fun! I love Eden's quote about Paul being her prince, that is just too cute!
Marianne just sent me your blog--I just read through yours and Paul's blog and cried the whole way through. Sean and I fasted for you and Paul this past Sunday. We are thinking of you and praying for you with every prayer. Give hugs and kisses to Eden too, she's a doll.
Love,

Eden is getting so big. I can't believe she is in Primary. Gracie is going into Nursery in not too long. It was great to chat the other day and her about your eventful Holiday. I'm sure that was scary and also helped to know what you guys are in for. Well tell Paul Hi. Talk to you later.
That was so touching! I love how you write and how you see things - you are so positive and faithful. You are truly an inspiration to me! I'm so glad you have a wonderful ward - it makes such a difference. My parent's is like that - full of loving, selfless people. It must be your area! :) Eden looked ADORABLE in that picture too - what a big girl she is!
Can you believe our little girls are getting so BIG! Avery started sunbeams too and LOVES it! I love your blog. It's been fun to read it and hear about everything going on in your life. We really do need to get together. I'll call you!
