A gift worth more than gold or silver...

Last Sunday my new friend came and sat with me at church. It was the first time someone (I didn't ask) came and sat with me. It was wonderful! I love her for it. I also love her for something even bigger.

She loves Ian...really loves him.

Shauna spent sacrament meeting getting to know Ian better and is now wrapped around his finger and he is wrapped around hers. I love it.

On Monday she brought him a turtle because Ian mentioned that he would stay in the back yard if he had a turtle. He hasn't had one escape attempt all week. My heart and mind have been at rest. Truly a gift worth more than gold.

Oh, and when she stopped by the other day, Ian saw that it was her and jumped up exclaiming, "It's my BEST GIRL!"

I would come sit with you, but we usually get there before you do. 5 kids means 5 times as long to get out the door right? How is that turtle by the way?

I love the angels that are here living with us.

I've thought about sitting with you and helping but my kids are insane at church! All five of yours are quieter and better than my two in sacrament.

I'm glad Shauna is being such a blessing to you! I hope the turtle doesn't run away!

That is so sweet! I'm glad the "Incredible Escaping Boy" is staying in place for now!

Like Shauna I fell in love with Ian. I wish I could sit by you in church. I am so glad she was there to help you.
