Glen's Tower

Here is Glen's first tower. He built it all by himself, I just held it and cheered.
He was so pleased when he finished it, he is still playing with the blocks and
building more.
I was a little surprised to see him put the first blocks together and when he had a hard time with the next few I thought it may have been a fluke. But then he put together the whole tower after I took apart what I had built. His tower was over 27 inches tall.

Determination

de⋅ter⋅mi⋅na⋅tion
/dɪˌtɜrməˈneɪʃən/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [di-tur-muh-ney-shuhn]–noun
1. the act of coming to a decision or of fixing or settling a purpose.

Reading in Moroni tonight I was very impressed by one verse in particular. (Moroni 6:3) The word that stuck out to me was "determination" Those who were baptized at this time had a determination to serve Christ to the end. They weren't baptized and then the first trial that comes a long makes them lose faith. A determination to serve Him to the end. I want to put that in caps the way it jumped out at me. I feel that same determination. I will serve Him to the end, the very end. All that He asks I will do, no matter how hard, no matter that it may not be my plan, I WILL follow and serve Him to the end.

The Peach Joke

Have you heard the Peach Joke? Ask me to tell you some time if you haven't, it's great.
Speaking of peaches,-did you like the smooth flow there?- we have a peach tree in our yard. For quite awhile Glen has been checking on them every day. He will go over to the tree and say "peash" and every day I have had to tell him "no, they are not ready to eat yet" Today they were ready and so we picked a few and Glen had fresh peaches for a bedtime snack, he was so eager that he was picking them off the tree and trying to take a bit out before I had checked for bugs or washed them.
He loves peaches. During snacks and meals he usually talks and plays a little bit, but while eating the peaches...let's just say I'm glad he stopped long enough to breath. He ate two peaches and probably would have had more, but it was time for bed. I'll have to keep an eye on him when we play outside from now one, otherwise he may go pick more peashes and eat them all.
