It was a perfect weekend...
I had been looking forward to Conference for weeks.
Saturday morning Joel was snuggled up in the corner of the couch
Mags was on the floor building a block tower
and I was at the table bombarded by fabric.
Joel slowly began to doze off and I decided to startle him awake (mean... I know)
me : "JOEL! I think you're falling asleep"
J : "no I'm not... I just have my eyes closed" *classic*
me : "you might have better luck staying awake, if you weren't laying on a soft pillow
and wrapped warmly in a cozy blanket"
J : "who are you even to talk... you slept through 95% of Conference last fall"
aghast...
me : "That. Is. Because. I. Had. Surgery. The. Day. Before. And. Was. A. Little. Medicated."
not really comparable...
do you think?
The nerve...
(I know, I know, who am I to talk... I'm way more nervy than JW)
The rest of the weekend was filled with
listening, laughing, crying, refinishing (Joel finished our head and foot board),
music, hair pretties, dinner with a friend while Joel attended Priesthood,
the Probst clan stopping by for a visit
and perfect little moments as a family.
Maguire is totally at that age where she's finally getting it all...
She brightened right up when President Monson spoke or was spoken of.
At one time she and I were sitting on the couch Sunday morning,
when the speaker mentioned the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Mom... he's talking about the Kingdom of Heaven!"
During Elder Scott's talk Sunday afternoon
(which might have been my favourite for sentimental reasons)
He talked about his child whispering to him in the night that he loved him
and that he was his best friend.
This time it was all three of us on the couch with Mags in the middle.
Suddenly she leaned up to her dad and whispered "I love you dad",
she then turned to me and whispered "I love you mom".

One of the many things I love about Conference...
someone shares a special experience for them,
and it can create a special experience for us.
Another thing I love...
the music...
Oh the music...
That Tabernacle Choir gets me every time.
Here's to the session in the fall... looking forward to it already.
Th only picture I got from the weekend was a bundle of hair pretties...

oh my, elder scott's talk... i was laying in our bed sunday night, talking to patrick about it, and i was sobbing my eyes out. the way he talked about his sweet wife and hearing the story of his son, really touched me.
Love Conference. And you can just send those hair pretties my way. Darling!
