I am grateful for my children. In so many ways, I think they were sent to teach me. Each of them has touched my life in a way that has caused me to think about the way I am living and how I need to do better.
Brynn is such a diligent and obedient little girl. Every morning, when she hears the alarm go off, she wakes up and heads straight for the piano to practice. At the beginning of the week, I help the girls with their new material. Once they are comfortable with it, I leave early in the morning to workout, so I am not there to listen. One morning this week, I took a day off and when the alarm went off I heard Brynn walk downstairs to start practicing. After doing her first song, she started to pick out a tune, my first instinct was to holler down for her to keep focused, but as I listened I heard her peck away "Come follow me, the Savior said, then let us in his footsteps tread..." I lay in bed listening, grateful that if she was going to get distracted, atleast it was a distraction that focused on the Savior. She spent all of her practice time figuring out the tune and was thrilled with her accomplishment. Thanks Brynn for being "distracted' by focusing on what matters most. :)

Amy, I will never forget waking up on Friday morning to a light in the house. When I walked down the stairs there was Brynn reading her book to be able to get all of her homework finished before school. It brought tears to my eyes. No one told her to do this she just did it on her own. For a just barely 9 year old, that is quite the discipline. She is going to accomplish many great things, because she is such a great example to everyone around her. I love her so much!
