Dear Matt,
Hi. Today is Sunday and we went to a big regional conference broadcast for church today. President Eyring, counselor to the prophet, and Elder Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke along with a member of the Seventy and a counselor in the primary. They all did a wonderful job and I left with a resolve to do better to make living the gospel my highest priority.
Friday night after the reception, we stayed over at a hotel. When we got there we found out that they didn’t have a bed for Lily. Cassandra and Emerson were not happy because they’d been assured twice over the phone that the hotel would have a pack and play for her. They told the hotel people to go buy one, which they did, but they didn’t get back with it till pretty late. I had Lily in my room and she made a heroic effort to be happy for a very long time. We read stories, ate snacks, etc. In the end, it was just too hard so we got Mommy and Daddy in the next room and she cried and cried till her bed came. She did a pretty good job in the night, too. She woke up three times, but fell right back asleep as soon as Grandma found and returned her binky to her mouth each time.
In the morning I let her take a very long bath which she absolutely loved. Then we went down to breakfast and had lots of fun eating lots of good food. After that we went on a walk and saw a dog, some airplanes in the air and flowers on the ground, and many many birds. It was fun spending so much time together just Lily and me. Back at home, we all went on a walk which ended rather quickly because it was cold and Lily was coughing a lot. Then Emerson and Cassandra went to the adult session of conference while I stayed home with Lily who was in bed for the night. When they got home, we stayed up till midnight talking it was a nice day.
