Elder M. Russell Ballard gave a wonderfully beautiful talk this afternoon and I was pleasingly surprised to hear him quote Anna Quindlen about how fast children grow. After I had Jared, a friend gave this book to me as a baby shower gift. Anna’s essays are eloquently written and Nick Kelsh’s black & white photographs are stunning. The book is inspiring and is an excellent reminder to savor the baby years. And thank you Elder Ballard! Speaking of words of inspiration, I love how he pointed out that some people over-schedule and try to keep up with the Jones’s. He reaffirmed everything I already felt (including things like I need to be nicer to my children because they will only be small for so long….). It’s just nice to hear it from a prophet’s voice.
AMEN! That was my favorite talk today. It’s just what I needed. I’m glad someone else was listening and appreciated it too.
That was my favorite talk also (and pretty much the only one I actually heard all of aside from President Monson’s at the end due to kid noise), which I guess is ok since its the one I most needed to hear.
That was my favorite talk! I am going to have to get a copy of that book, sounds like one I would enjoy:)
Susan, you can borrow it if you want!
Such a sweet couple! I never got a ring shot when I was married either, is that bad?! Anyways, great photos!
Adorable! Do you think Shawn will even want to have his picture taken with me when we get that old??? Not that the C’s are old, I’m just saying. . . Time to hush up!
I enjoy looking at all your photos! You are so talented, and creative. I didn’t get a ring shot either. Maybe it was not the thing for us old people!
I just LOVE these two. You captured them perfectly! Great photos!
