Kneeling in prayer with my children at night provides a brief glimpse into their inner thoughts and events of the day.
Often times I hear gratitude for Ice Cream or sincere pleadings for a play date.
Ryan (3) recently reminded me that Mindy and I have been trying to decrease the contention in our home.
This was his prayer tonight:
Heavenly Father
Help me to not say stupid
Help me to not say I hate you
Help me to not hit Garrett
Help me to not hit Kate
Help me to not hit Paige
Help me to not hit Mommy
Amen
I think he's getting the message.
Now if he just had the faith for such miracles.

I thank you for the Eldon fix. Your little family and the stories "their-of" bring back memories and feelings that Parker and I have long tried to repress. The stories always bring a smile and an occasional tear. Keep up the documentation of the wonder years. They do get away from us too soon.
We kinda' have that CONTENTION THING going too...
Hurray....you're back! We missed you. I want to know everything about everything, especially those darling children!!!
I am SOOOOOO incredible glad you are back.
The other day Seth prayed that he would not take his clothes off and play naked in the mud pretending he was a stinky boy.
Compared to that, Ryan's prayer was general authority material.
