Happy Birthday!

April 4
‎24 years ago today, I looked at the tiny, wrinkled bundle I was holding and wondered if I was really ready for the ride that was about to begin. It's been fun, crazy, obnoxious, weird, sad, happy, frustrating...I could go on, but I won't. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN! I'm so glad to have you as a son!


April 15
Seventeen years ago today, another little bundle was placed in my arms. I thought his name "James Stephen Jenson" was bigger than he was and wondered how he would grow into it. I'm proud to say he has done it very well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES! I love you and I'm proud of you.


Today, April 22
21 years ago the bundle in my arms created a bond immediately. A bond that included a knack for non-verbal communication between him and me. I never even heard him cry for the first six weeks of his life because we were so in tune with each other, and it continues to this day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIMOTHY! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN 12 DAYS!!!


Today in Relief Society: 
President Christensen: Sister Jenson, please stand up. Now sisters, notice her face. ...How many days? 
Me: 12!
