CHANGES IN THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN















I look at these pictures of my children from last year and see so many changes in them. Not only physical changes but so much more. I had a dream last night that James was a little boy, about 2 years-old again. Maybe I am missing my "little boy".
He is growing into such a fine young man. He loves school and seems to love the college life at BYU. It still seems strange sometimes to think that he is only a visitor when he comes to visit us.

Kae Lee moved all of her things into her freshly painted room and slept in their for the first time last night. Brynna liked having the queen sized bed all to herself in her room. My children are growing up and making changes that let me know that they like their independence. They love to be together and they like to be alone sometimes--which is normal. Kae Lee and Brynna have shared the same room for over 12 years and it was just strange to see them in different beds last night. Kae Lee was the first one into her bed and I peaked in on her to see if she was comfortable in her new bed. The sweetest scene lay before me as I watched Kae Lee all snuggled in bed, Brynna sitting on the edge of the bed next to Kae Lee with her arm around her telling her a bedtime story. I hope they will always remember those quiet times together when they had all the time in the world to just talk about "girlie" things and they knew that those things would never be shared with anyone else. They are my crowning jewels!!!
