Dakota has been extremely ill since last week and I finally took her to urgent care last night where we learned that she has strep throat. This morning around 6am, Rian came in burning up and complaining of a sore throat. At her doctor's appointment this morning, upon learning that she would have a throat culture, she became hysterical. When the nurse walked in with the swab, Rian asked me in a timid voice if we could say a prayer. The nurse stood quietly as I whispered a short prayer in her ear asking Heavenly Father to help her to be strong. She instantly calmed herself and sat still while the nurse swabbed her throat. It's amazing to me the power that we have to teach our children and the willingness that they have to receive what is being taught. They don't question whether or not their Heavenly Father will hear their prayers, they just know He will. I am so proud of her for having that faith, she is truly an example to me.
PS Both girls are feeling better today, but now Jack has a fever. It's a never ending vicious cycle!

These little children are so sweet...I'm so glad that my grandchildren have such wonderful parents!
Good job mom and dad! What a great story and a great little girl, I'm so glad you shared. Give those kids kisses for me, I hope they all feel better soon!
Amazing children. I hope mine are that awesome.
(That was from me, Bree...not mom)
I love Rian! That was a great thing you did ALisa... To pray right then and there.
