I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Finally, Pictures From St. George

The week after we got back from St. George, our days were filled with appointment after appointment. Then the girls got colds and everything went south from there. It's no wonder I have had no time to keep up on my blog. Today I am finally able to take a few minutes and catch up. We sure do miss that St. George sunshine!

What great pictures. That was a great week. I was in church yesterday, and there was this little girl sitting by us that made me miss your girls. Give them all a BIG hug from aunt Nanna.
