Mom's Monday Moments

So I just missed Monday by 30 minutes... but here they are anyway!

Not many pictures taken this week. Rebecca was in the Primary program so I took those photos of her, but with my back bothering me and the house being a mess and being at work, doctors appointments etc. I haven't even thought about getting it out.  I do need to make up the CD of the photos from my mom's house last week when we had lunch with Joshua.

But here are a few from the mini shoot I had with Rebecca quickly before church.

 

Since there were only 2 photos I thought I would take the top one and doctor it up real quick and this is what I came up with ... whatcha think?

So which do you like better? Straight from the camera or a quick doctoring up??

My weekend was fabulous, I spent both Friday and Saturday being spiritually filled to the brim. There were many women from our ward there which was such a fabulous thing to share with them.  I have tried so hard to keep from raising my voice to the girls and keeping a calm level tone. But things like last night Rebecca got into bed at 7:05 and was still coming out asking for things (water, to go to the bathroom, etc.) until 9:13!!!!  Seriously... my patience only handles so much. I read this a recent quote sent to me from LDSNuggets.com:

"Patience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best—better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His. We can grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and patterns to unfold in our lives, on His timetable."

--Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "Patience", Ensign, Oct. 1980, 28

Wow, my patience has been running thin lately... guess that means I need to have more faith in Heavenly Father that things will work out as planned ... on his timetable not mine.

With that thought I leave you, have a great week.
