Just passing on some good advice

Here it is: Praying as a couple.
On Sunday, during Sacrament meeting, a man in our ward encouraged us to pray together as couples, morning and night. Trevor and I have always prayed at night together (I must admit, it's been at Trevors encouragement) and I have continually seen blessings come from it. But praying in the morning as a couple? I barely wake up enough to say : "I love you. Have a great day." But this week I have managed to drag myself to my knees with Trevor to pray and I have loved it and have felt the effects of it throughout the day.

So there you go. Im just passing on some good advice.
(not praying here, just checking out our garden)
On a side note, this is the third night this week I have a child up being scared. First it was Emily (understandable since she was told a very scary story), then Stephen because we watched Penelope (my fav) and he was scared of the pig nose, and now Emily again because they watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure and apparently Large Marge is very scary.
(Whew, that was a really good run on sentence)
We may have to ban all movies from our house and stick strickly to PBS.

HA! Defidently a family trait...Colton still has a hard time sleeping in his own bed from a commercial he saw last February! And we ALL close our eyes and ears when a scary commercial comes on.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
