Walk Out

Gavin has been watching a lot of Wallace and Gromit these days. Do you know those movies? They are cute. Anyway, in one of them, Gromit, the dog, runs away because he feels left out and unwanted. So when Gavin is not quite getting his way around here, he thinks he needs to run away but he calls it "walking away." So the other night it was totally pitch black outside and even raining and Gavin felt abused for some reason or other, I don't even know why (maybe he wasn't sure either) and he packed up his stuff (his pillowcase filled with some halloween candy and his bear) and walked out. We were trying not to laugh at his very SERIOUS situation. He got as far as the front sidewalk when he quickly turned around to run to the safety of his own home, after thinking about the recent mountain lion spottings in our area. My sweet little boy....

Shellby said...: So cute. Laycee used to run away to the corner (of the house on Coolidge St) no less than twice a week. She would pack a box and put on a hat and sweater (no matter the weather) and sit down there until my parents got home from work.; November 13, 2008 at 5:15 AM

Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997
