Out of the Mouth of Babes

I know I am way behind and I should update you with the beginning of the year 1st. But that takes pictures and pictures take more time and I am ready for bed, so just indulge me. I couldn't miss the opportunity to share with you the conversation I had with William, my darling 5 year old.

While waiting for the sacrament to be passed to us, William was sitting on my lap and I was asking him questions about why we take the sacrament. This is our conversation.

Mom: Why do we take the sacrament?
William: I don't know.
Mom: Who do we think about when we take the sacrament.
William: Jesus
Mom: What about Jesus do we think of when we eat the bread?
William: His body.
Mom: Why do we think of his body?
William: I don't know.
Mom: What did Jesus do for us that we need to always remember?
William: That He sent us to earth.
Mom: Yes, but what did He do for us that we would need to remember His body?
William: I don't know.

Trying to get William to say "He died for us," I decided to ask the question that I knew would produce such an answer.

Mom: Why do we have Easter?
William: Because Jesus died for us and then he was RECYCLED.

I laughed so hard we never were able to finish our talk, and I eventually had to excuse myself from the chapel so I could wipe the tears and regroup myself. I love my boy!!!!!

I am so behind.

I can't believe that the year is almost 1/3 gone and I haven't had time to post anything. But I am getting my life back in order. And although I don't have time to post pictures right now, I just wanted everyone to know we have not dropped off the face of the earth. We are still here and doing well. I will be back towards the end of this week to add pictures and get you all caught up with our year so far. It has been a busy one. We love you all, The Kimballs
