"I know that my Savior loves me"



“I Know That My Savior Loves Me,” Friend, Oct 2002, 46–47

1. A long time ago in a beautiful place,
Children were gathered ’round Jesus.
He blessed and taught as they felt of His love.
Each saw the tears on His face.
The love that He felt for His little ones
I know He feels for me.
I did not touch Him or sit on His knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me.

Chorus
I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.

2. Now I am here in a beautiful place,
Learning the teachings of Jesus.
Parents and teachers will help guide the way,
Lighting my path ev’ry day.
Wrapped in the arms of my Savior’s love,
I feel His gentle touch.
Living each day, I will follow His way,
Home to my Father above.

Chorus

May came and went...

I can't believe it is June and a half already!

Meg got a new job at the bakery. She is finally one of the cake decorators. YAHOO! She has really enjoyed the change. Her fingers are constantly pink, which match most of her outfits, so she is still a fashionista!

We love Cakewrecks.com and we have anticipated seeing one of Meg's creations on there. This one could be a contender...She made Jeff a cake for his birthday. He wanted a Lord of the Rings cake. He was hoping for the Two Towers with Gollum on the side...





Good job, Meg! Dad was so proud!

Maddie graduated and is now enrolled in college. I can't believe we have two college students already! I remember morning sickness like it happened just yesterday.

Madds also got a new job. She is a nanny for triplet 7 year old boys!!! They live two doors down so she is still home and can use us for help if she needs it. After her first day she said she was going to wait a LONG time to have kids!



Hunter is all through with grade school. He had an amazing teacher, Mrs. L, who encouraged Hunter to practice his artistic talents. She struggled this year with cancer and was gone a lot for chemo. Hunter stayed on task and was a leader to the other kids. He is excited to go to Jr High.

Jeff wanted Hunter to go to school with him but Hunter politely declined. (I think Jeff would put a crimp in Hunter's style, but don't tell Jeff---he wears socks with his sandals and that just won't do for Hunter). Hunter is working on his Eagle project this summer and hopes to receive his Eagle award in December.



Jeff completed his first year as a Jr High teacher! He enjoyed it and the kids loved him. He has been home now for three whole weeks and has gotten lots of things done around the house. Thanks, Dude.

I am doing the usual and something new. Jeff's mom came over last night for Jeff's birthday and brought ME a present! I have always admired the new watches everyone is wearing but I am not a jewelry maker. Karen brought me a kit to make a watch band of my own...



Thanks, Karen. (I have THE BEST mother in law!)

Happy June, ya'll.
(the sun is shining today-bonus!)
