Posting and FHE

Well I had switched my blog to be private but then I realized that I hadn't given any warning and had a few friends give me a hard time about not allowing them to see my blog. Sorry about that!! I have been really bad about posting because my computer is old (Amelia and Scott have newer computers than me!!) and it is a pain to get my pictures up so anyway the new computer is in the mail thanks to our tax return which we hope to get soon and after that transferring pictures should be a breeze. Hopefully that will help me, I am amazed at how faithfully so many of you are, I can tell that you all must keep great journals as well! I struggle at that too!
So tonight for FHE we are talking about our body and our spirit. I am making a chart one for the body and one for the spirit. Then we will talk about how we feed and exercise our body and how we feed and exercise our spirit. After that I will show them the chart and for the next week we will be putting a sticker on the body or spirit each time we feed or exercise it. If the spirit wins at the end of the week we will have a party (nothing too big). Meal time prayers won't count for feeding the spirit though. Exercising the spirit will be showing obedience and following promptings of the spirit. I am always amazed at how in tune the kids are. The other day in Primary, Amelia won the little competition that I had given them during singing time but when it came time to claim her prize she told me to give it to the other little boy. At home I told her how happy I was that she was so kind and she told me that the Holy Ghost had told her to make that decision.
Darren is crying so I have to go but at his 4 month appointment he was 20 pounds!!!!!!! No wonder he is in size 12 month clothes and no wonder I get winded just carrying him up the stairs!!! I am hoping that he is done with this GROWTH SPURT!!! =)
