Day 114 & 115

     Katie woke up with the shakes this morning, she does that sometimes, but this morning it seemed worse.  She complained of her tummy hurting, so Scott and I rubbed it.  I told Scott she looked a little pale.  Katie asked for milk, (she says that makes her tummy feel better).  Guess, that didn't work...as Katie threw up.  Glad Scott was home.  He is calmer than I am!    
     Scott and I had a nice little get away.  Upon returning home yesterday afternoon, Conner told me, "I didn't even cry for you."   To which Katie replied, "I didn't cry either!"  Thanks to Scott's mom for spending the night and taking care of them.  She has been such a huge help and blessing to us!  Since this began, I have come to realize and appreciate the importance of having family nearby.  I told Scott just yesterday that I always want to live near family - either his or mine.  I am grateful for my family and all the support they have given us.  But like my mom always says, "I wish we lived closer to each other."  I wish we did too!  We are also grateful to our "ward family" for the help and support they have given.  We are glad we are surrounded by such good people!
     President David O. Mckay taught: "That man is most truly great who is most Christlike.  What you sincerely in your heart think of Christ will determine what you are, will largely determine what your acts will be....By choosing him as our ideal, we create within ourselves a desire to be like him, to have fellowship with him" (Improvement Era, June 1951, 408).  "Therefore, what manner of man ought ye to be?  Verily I say unto you, even as I am."  (3 Nephi 27:27)
