I picked up my copy of "A Mother's Influence" by Margaret D. Nadauld while cleaning my room today and read something I wanted to share.
"Every time a child kneels at a mother's knee to pray, the child is taught.
When going to church is the expected natural course of events each week, a child is taught.
When classroom teachings are discussed at home, a child is taught, twice.
When home teachers are welcomed with appreciation, a child is taught.
When titihing is paid first and regarded as important, a child is taught.
When parents love the Lord and find joy in living His teachings, a child is taught.
When a parent repents and asks forgiveness of a child, a child is taught and then forgives and forgets.
When a parent honors marital vows with complete fidelity, a child is taught and feels safe.
When scriptures are part of teaching in the home, a child is taught, by the Spirit as well as by the word.
When a parent is seen reading for enjoyment and information, a child is taught.
When parents read to a child, a child is taught, and feels loved."
This year started out with a bang. Cory got laid off on January 12th and then the next day (Friday the 13th) was his last day. It was very shocking. I believe that company stopped deserving Cory loooong ago! He has worked so hard for the last year so it's just a huge bummer. They laid off several employees so it was sad for a lot of poeple. We know things happen for a reason and there will be something bigger and better in our future!
So, since Cory has had a little free time we decided to do a total master bedroom makeover. Truthfully, we've never done anything with it decorating or paint wise.
This is the paint colors we were going for. We ended up choosing one of these gray colors. When I've got it more decorated and cute I'll post pictures.
Mataya was extremely helpful throughout the process with cleaning and taping the walls.
Here is the taping she did in one of the corners. Cory does start his new job in a week so I've got to use him while I've got him. So far we have rearranged our bedroom and painted it, rearranged our family room, and done a lot of cleaning and we watch The Price is Right every morning:) So we have all enjoyed seeing more of Dad. A couple of weeks ago Spencer came home from school and looked at Cory and then looked at me and said, "What is HE doing here?" So hilarious!
And this little guy is just too cute. He just army crawls around and explores he is so fun.
