The last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy for our family. We have had a lot going on lately. One of those things is that my Grandpa Keith died about a week ago. We took the kids to his viewing and we had tried to tell Cooper what was going on, but you could tell that he was pretty confused. After we had been at the mortuary for a while and the kids were spending more time outside than inside, we decided that it was time to go. As we were walking, Cooper asked us "Is this where Heavenly Father lives?" I thought it was the cutest thing ever. We had been telling him that Grandpa went to live with Heavenly Father and now Cooper was seeing my Grandpa at the mortuary. It made me laugh and I could see why he would be so confused. I made a mental note to myself to have a Family Home Evening lesson tonight about our spirits and our bodies using the glove example. This whole thing just brought a huge smile to myself and made me realize how innocent (and smart) little kids are. I am thankful for my kids and the cute things that they do. They bring so much joy and happiness to our lives.

Jamie,
sorry to hear about your grandpa. I hope that you and the rest of your family are taking it ok.
How are things going with Colette? I should give her a call - I just don't want to be too annoying, ya know? But having been in that position ... I know my friends and family are what got me through :)
Talk to you soon!
That is so sweet. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandpa. At least we know he's in a happier place!! Hope you are doing well.
