Grace was assigned to give the scripture and prayer in primary last Sunday. We picked a scripture and practiced all week long. Justin would whisper the words into her ear and she would repeat it loud, pretending to speak into the microphone. She tried so hard to memorize it so she could do it all by herself. She had about half of it memorized by Sunday. When it was her turn she walked right up to the podium and started saying the prayer all by herself before Justin could get the microphone on. No one knew she was praying until she said "Amen." Justin had her do it again once the microphone was on. She insisted on saying it herself and when she stalled for a moment Justin tried to to help her. She pushed his face away and said, "I do it myself!" She did a great job reciting the scripture too. I was so proud of her. We were a little afraid that once she got up there she would be too nervous or scared, but she was such a big, brave girl.I wanted to get a picture of her after primary wearing her special sticker she got for saying the scripture and prayer, but Grace loves stickers so much they don't last long.

Good job Grace! Watch out, she doesn't need your help anymore. :) Love Claire's shoes. So adorable.
I love that story! It's so fun when kids start praying and doing things in primary. I also agree with Tat about the shoes. Those are darling! Girls really do have the market cornered on cute shoes don't they? Your girls are darling!
Independent Grace! We miss you guys. Church is not the same without seeing your precious family!
