Mel, your kids were so good. I want tell you all the details. Please have at least 12 children; you are doing a terrific job with them. They reminded me to read them a verse from the scriptures last night. Tavin said such a beautiful prayer; he asked for you, kayza and Brett, your parents, he thanked God for me. he told me this: "i know you are moving on saturday because Grecia told me, but you know what, YOU ARE NEVEEEEEEER LEAVING!" kirra was the sweetest girl of all. She asked me to read her sleeping beauty, and she did not like how i pronounced "Aurora", so she told that every time that word came she could say it. i died laughing. I did not feel her move during the night. She woke up at 7.50. Then Shad followed, and we had to wake Tavin up! I am sooooo happy they are finally sleeping through the night. :D when I was doing Kirra's hair this morning I said to her that i was not as good as you at doing hair, and she said she liked it that way too. it was the perfect way to say goodbye to them spending the night with them. I did not do you a favor, you did it to me. Your example as a mom, as a friend, as a wife, as a mormon in my life is something I am gonna be grateful for the rest of my life. You have taught me soo much! ( the things i have learned from you i am gonna have to write them down in another super long text some other day) :) love u!
