Even though I already had one blog erase it seemed inconceivable that it would happen again, and yet...

So this was the jist. Dave, somehow I missed your blog where you talked about what age you would be. I had to laugh because both of our reasons were the same. We're 30 and we're broke. Well, you are soon to be 31. We can compare walker styles at Kim's wedding. Taylor, your aunt is so lame. I saw the blog from grandma about your party and I went to look at my calendar and find your b-day and it has already passed. I am so sorry. I didn't even look at the calendar last weekend with Jane being sick and I missed it. I love you very much and hope you had a great birthday.

The other thing that I wrote about was reading about Taylor getting a blessing at Disneyland. It brought tears to my eyes. I gave a lesson about the priesthood on Sunday. It said to invite one of the girls' fathers to come in and speak. Out of 12 girls only one has a dad that is active and living with her. He is on the high council so Mike came in. Some of my girls don't even think temple marriage is an acheivable goal. It is so sad. We have many, many single mothers in our ward. I shared the experience of being sick in Michigan and all of the Stinchfield boys and father walking in to give me a blessing. It still leaves me in awe to think of that. Not only my blessing but being able to stand together for Sadie's baby blessing. It is amazing with all the wickedness in this world that all of you could walk into a room as righteous bearers of our Heavenly Father's Priesthood and be ready to do what was needed. Kenn and Barb, you have raised wonderful men and women. I feel very blessed to be a part of this family. I only hope we can all carry on the legacy. Okay, that was more or less what I wrote, Ellyn standing behind me on my pillow and using my hair to keep her balance has left me somewhat distracted. Trevin, cograts! Annie-any time and for as long as you want.
