A Quiet Cleansing Weekend

This weekend would have been absolutely wonderful had our baby girl not been quite sick for the first time in her life. She had a high fever and was throwing up for a couple of days. We were sure to keep plenty of water and liquids down her to replace what she was losing.


Her fever broke and pretty much went away on Saturday but she has had the runs ever since and just isn't very happy. She is also trying to get more teeth and just wants to nurse lots for comfort. She is on the mend and should be back to her sweet self very soon.


Ry and I spent the weekend doing a Juice "Feast." It's a type of cleanse were you give your body plenty of nutrients through fresh fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies, but you let your digestive system rest for a while.

Charly and the kids also enjoyed the juices and smoothies we made, well most of them;) We also enjoyed watching another wonderful conference! We hope you all got a chance to see it if your like me and were gone last weekend and missed the R.S. session or couldn't see all the sessions you can easily watch rebroadcasts by clicking HERE! Then just choose the date and time they were originally broadcast. (i.e. Sunday, October 7, 2007 then scoll down to 10:00am LDS General Conference)

Just a Quote:

"The temple work for the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence and other Founding Fathers has been done. All these appeared to Wilford Woodruff when he was president of the St. George Temple. President George Washington was ordained a high priest at that time. You will also be interested to know that, according to Wilford Woodruff's journal, John Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and Christopher Columbus were also ordained high priests at that time. When one casts doubt about the character of these noble sons of God, I believe he or she will have to answer to the God of heaven for it." (Ezra Taft Benson, Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, 604.)
Happy Columbus Day!!!

That is the cutest little sicky girl ever. I am so sorry that she has had the tummy flu. Myra has even more empathy for her....as she had it this weekend too. It is such a pain when tiny ones get it though. They just don't understand and it's super messy!:(

Love your quote....we used it during FHE tonight!

Love ya tons, Em
