Thankful

A couple of weeks ago a huge rain storm came through and as a result canceled our Ward's cannery night. I was bummed...I had saved and planned on it for a couple of months. The next cannery night was going to be while I was in Utah. Lately I've been on a big food storage kick and I have had a real desire to get prepared. Well, my RS president called me and offered to watch Allie so I could go in the middle of the day with another ward. She has 4 kids and home schools them so she is already so busy. I accepted her offer (with MUCH gratitude). When I picked up Allie I could tell that Allie had the best time. She colored, played in the back yard, played with puppets and stickers and so much more. My president makes it look so effortless...I'm always amazed. Oh, and when I picked up my daughter she had offered to watch two other kids in the ward because their mom was super sick. Amazing.

Here are some fun pictures she took of Allie.
