Tulle Skirts

I think they turned out well, don't you?  The gals were eager to put them on and were preening like peacocks all afternoon.  Success.

I am unhappy with the waistbands.  I mean, why am I pinning elastic on a custom-made skirt?

Perhaps because I was sick, short on patience, and time?  I plan on taking some time this week to fix that little problem.

One of the things that made this weekend even more meaningful were the amazing and inspiring messages we heard in LDS General Conference, combined with the celebration of the Resurrection of our Savior.  Every talk that was given is so applicable and timely, counsel that we can all use in our lives to better our homes, families, relationships, communities, and world.  We heard from living prophets & apostles what our focus should be for the next six months.  How lucky are we?!  Check out #ldsconf #becuasehelives #embark #sharegoodness to see some amazing things about this weekend.

You can listen to, read, or watch any of the LDS Conference addresses here.

This is a quote from one of my favorite talks, by Elder Wilford W. Andersen:

I loved the analogy of family life to an orchestra, and the gospel to the music we dance to.  Dancing without music is awkward and hard to understand, but when we hear and feel the music, the dancing comes naturally.  My girls and I love to dance, spontaneously and with great energy!  We love music and rhythm.  My deep desire is for my family to feel and hear the music & rhythm of the gospel of Jesus Christ, so their dancing will come naturally, spontaneously, and with great enthusiasm.  And I have determined to play the gospel tune more loudly and consistently in our home, so that their ears will be trained to hear, love, appreciate, & yearn for it.

Another Easter with my beautiful family.  How the years do fly by!
