How did you get so cute?

So Sunday as we were driving to a friends house to visit, Creed asked Sarah the following question: How did you get so cute?" Sarah replies, "Hair Pretties!" It just made us laugh really hard. She is just so cute! Last night we had family home evening and right now we are just following the new Nursery manual and last night's lesson was titled Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Love Me. I asked Sarah, "Who loves Sarah?" Her answer, "Jesus loves Sarah!" I was amazed that she already knew, though I probably shouldn't be. Sarah is just growing so much and we love her tons. She loves to sing and knows most of the words to Do As I'm Doing, If your Happy and You Know it, Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam, I am a Child of God and a few others. She hums, and in sacrament meeting we sang I Stand All Amazed as the sacrament hymn and then all during the sacrament she hummed the melody. I think she has her great grandmother's talent, Creed's Grandma Ewan was a professional Opera singer and even toured with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

We are all doing good. Chad has moved in with us and is such a joy. I am really loving getting to know him and helping him get to know himself. He is also a huge help. Creed is doing well, though we are trying to figure out what the Lord has planned for us. Last week Creed came home and said that they company had layed off another 45 people, so in the last 2 months they have layed off 70 people, that is almost 2/3rds of the company and that we were taking a pay cut. So now we just have to figure out if the Lord wants us here, or somewhere else. There aren't really any other jobs out here that we could switch to, so we are looking around and praying that all goes according to the Lord's plan.

I had my first Home Gathering this last weekend. My aunt and cousin hosted one in Tremonton/Garland and it went pretty well. It turned into an open house because of two funerals and a snow storm, but we still had 13 people show up and in the end my aunt and cousin are going to get about $60 worth of free stuff, which is pretty exciting for them! It also means that I will make almost $85. I love my new job!

How old is Sarah? She is a smarty pants!

That is rough about Creed's work. I'm sorry to hear that. I know how it goes...MI is hurting hugely and Joel and I have been praying about our future a ton too.

Congrats on your parties! That is great that you love your job! Plus, you're making some money! Wahoo!

It's such a blessing that you have this scrap book stuff. It's certainly not a sustainable income, but it's great to have that extra with the pay cut and everything. :) I miss you guys.
