“Of all the joys of life, none other equals that of happy parenthood.”
“Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God… Take care of your little ones, welcome them into your homes and nurture and love them with all of your hearts.”
“It is… our precious privilege—even our sacred opportunity—to welcome to our homes and to our hearts the children who grace our lives.”
“… Tell your children that you love them and that you are so happy to have them in your family.”
When it comes to bearing children….. “No sacrifice is too great, no pain too severe, no waiting too long.”
“Rejoice in your opportunities to love and care for the souls of children.”
“Rejoice in the opportunity to teach your children the truths of the kingdom, and help them experience the peace and joy that comes from following these truths.”
“… In the eternal perspective, children–not possessions, not position, not prestige–are our greatest jewels.”
“The only things you will take with you, when all is said and done, are your family relationships.”
“A happy home is but an earlier heaven.”

Alycia: Oh my goodness–thank YOU for taking our pictures and capturing such priceless moments. I can’t tell you how much that means to me!
Sorry it’s taken me so long to comment, Heidi! I did look at these when you posted them but it’s hard to get two hands free to type these days:) Anyhow – I love the new family pics! You guys are a stunning group. My favorite is the one of you laughing with Sir Snuggles “kissing” your cheek! You guys are adorable!
