Come what may and love it!

Getting used to being a mommy to two little ones has been a bit overwhelming to Afton and Jason. Especially since Emma seems to be a bit colicky. I took the November 08 Ensign to Afton because I wanted her to read the message from Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin titled COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT. When I read the message I decided to repeat these words when things go a little haywire in my life, so I felt she would benefit from it also.

As you can see by the upside down bowl of captain crunch, things went a little haywire at breakfast time. I was taking care of Emma and Afton was on the phone with Shannon Haderlie getting some words of encouragement and tips for colic, when Brady picked up the bowl and dumped it out. I thought about Grandma Syl and how she would have reacted to the cereal being dumped on her coffee table and then headed for the floor; which prompted my first reaction to jump and not let it get all over, but the message popped into my mind and I just said to myself, "COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT." Afton grabbed a towel, and I of course grabbed my camera, declaring this a blogging moment!

We laughed when we saw Brady bend his head down and try to drink the milk off the table! It is amazing how one sees things so different from a Grandparent's perspective! ahhhh, COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT!
