Two weekends ago we really enjoyed being able to watch General Conference. I always feel so motivated after listening to the prophets! Brian worked Saturday from 5 a.m. until 6 p.m. that day, so I watched with Elna. I was surprised how much I was able to listen to while juggling Elna. My favorite talk was Elder Holland’s. It seems whenever Elder Holland speaks I feel such a huge desire to be better. This talk especially motivated me to want to be kinder and more merciful. I loved when he said, “Be kind, and be grateful that God is kind. It is a happy way to live.” Amen!

I hope I always remember her joy about bath time—she quivers with excitement, “bah bah bah bah”
feeding Uncle Chris some melba toast—such a sharer
Opening her Easter basket from Grandma—Grandpa and Grandma Harris are very generous!
When Brian and his brothers were little they would often spend Sunday afternoons sliding down the stairs on a mattress. Brian thought it would be fun for Elna to experience this thrill, so Sunday he set up the mattress, got a sleeping bag out, and set Elna in it. Elna loved it for most of the time—until the very end when she got hurt. Of course that was the only time we got it on video. 
It may not look like it here, but that is a very happy face from Elna.
This is worth watching:
Elna sliding down stairs—first (and only) take. Warning: you might laugh or you might cry…
Grandma Fae offered to give Elna a bath after dinner Sunday night. Elna had such a fun time with Grandma. It was fun to listen to Grandma talking and singing to Elna. DeWin said something sweet about Barbara while we were still sitting around the table finishing up dinner—he said something like, “one of things she enjoyed most about being a mother was bath time.” She really does seem to delight in giving Elna a bath and Elna loves it too!
