November 1: I am thankful for such a loving and wonderful ward. I am grateful for good and kind people who take seriously their covenants to "bear one another's burdens." This is Christianity.
November 2: I am grateful for amazing kids. Today I am feeling particularly grateful for Ashton. She is such a remarkable girl. I often forget that she is not yet 10. She is so talented. She has such great understanding for things of a spiritual nature. She is so good and always wants to be better. She is the smartest person - big or little - I have ever met. She puts others around her at ease and makes them feel good about themselves.
People are in awe that I can homeschool, etc., and I just think Well, if you had Ashton, you could do it, too. She is such a big help to me!
I got some one-on-one time with her today. This is rare because she quietly lets her own needs be overlooked when her brother or sister demand attention from me. I am grateful to have had a little time with her and we have made a goal to try to make that time every day.
Isn't she lovely on the outside, too?

I'm glad for your blog about Ashton because she is indeed all of those things and it's good to be reminded. I'm looking forward to our birthday date. I'll have to get on that and see where she wants to go. Plus, I've got Roxie's to make up for. Boy am I a slacker. That whole New York thing threw me off.
I love that picture of your kids! They look like fun!
I love that Ashton too. She is such a delightful child. I sometimes feel Maddy gets overlooked a bit because she is so "Old". I'm looking forward to our birthday date with Ash too. I do get to come too, don't I?
