We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Walking

I think it is official we have a walker. Gideon is now walking far more then he crawls. You can tell that he prefers to walk and he can stand up in the middle of the room. Most of the time when he crawls now he does the bear crawl (you know were he is on his hands and feet instead of his hands and knees) it is like he doesn't want to give into full fledged crawling again. He is at such a fun, goofy age right now. We just love him to pieces!

Tage is no longer a crawler either! While we were gone he learned how to get up in the middle of the room! We can have them race!! I am glad to see you have gotten you page all put together and the backgrounds and stuff worked out!! Tell the kids hello for us!

The race is on but I have a feeling from there personalities that Tage would win. Gideon still falls down alot but because he can get up in the middle of the rooom he just gets up and goes on again.
