Oh my heavens! Proudest mommy moment ever!

Last Monday we had a family night about the scriptures. We gave Jaxon his own Book of Mormon, and also got a picture book of Mormon book with simplied versions of the stories to read at night. We talked about how important the scriptures are, and ever since we read one verse from the Regular book of Mormon, and then one story from the simplified version.
Today Jaxon and I were playing in his room. He picked up his "Daddy" (regular) Book of Mormon and started "reading"

"Henny Faddur loved his family. Then he found Nephi, then they got the brass plates, then they left. Nephi was a baby but then he grew up. His brothers tried to kill Nephi and then he ran away."

Golden moments like that are so precious.
Great job, Dave & Ash!
You guys are sure teaching Jaxon the things (and habits) he needs.
Wonderful.

On another note, yes, I did read your comment about Dave not going on our family vacay.
I haven't acknowledged it until now because I've been in denial.
I want some miracle to happen where all of the sudden Dave can go. Then we'll all be happy.
I'm so very sad that he can't make it.
Can he come for one or two days?
Even a little bit would be awesome.

That's cute! Obviously he's absorbing something!

Yeah, his decision to stay is a very good one.
And we're proud of him (and you for supporting him) for making the hard choice to do what's best for your fam.
But we'll miss him terribly.
You should take a picture of him right before you leave and bring a print with you.
This way he'll be with us (sorta).
:)
Ooh, let's have him take the pic with his Rogers Fam Reunion t-shirt. That is, if we ever finalize the details for those.
Gimme a call when you can and we'll get on it.
