A weird conclusion.

Today was our first day back to church in 4 weeks. My kids caught croup minus Bridget because her tan skin is sick repellent. Seriously she never gets sick. 2 weeks of croup, 2 weeks on vacation and we started to notice a few things.

Last week while we were driving home Nathan asked the kids to think about something from church.
Bridget said "I want to think about John Smith"
Nathan replied, "you mean Joseph Smith?"
She was very clear this time "Nope, I meant John Smith, from Pocohontas"
It was at this time we realized we had been gone too long. Haha.

I am so glad for FHE and the church and for everything it brings to our family. I know how much we have been blessed from going to church and living the gospel.  I don't say it enough but its true.

Also. Bridget went from this...

 to this.

She picked the length herself. 4 inches gone. She loves it and so did everyone else, except Nick (a boy in her class) She was really mad he didn't like it. Kinda funny.

The kids came home and were non stop talk about all they learned today.

I think its funny how quickly they pick it all back up.
Its mostly our fault because we weren't as diligent about reading scriptures and praying daily as we usually are because we were dead tired every night from our vacation. We also were all in the same room most of the time and when it was time for bed -- it was time for bed. ;)
