Thanksgiving weekend

 We went to Edmonton this year for thanksgiving but on the way we went to the Calgary Zoo.  It's a great Zoo, we had so much fun, Kali and I spent over half the time waiting for Spence to read every info board, but we made the best of it.  My favorite animals were the Gorillas for sure, I also liked the spider monkeys, the wolves, and I kinda liked the tiger, I would have liked her more if she didn't try to spray me.

 The reason we went to Edmonton was to visit my famliy, but I always love to have a visit with my good friends. I got to hang out with my dear Sarah, and it was so good to see her. We went to a really cool park, talked, watched the girls play, and had a picnic, and the weather was perfect too.

 Last of all, we dug up our carrots last week and found a couple funny looking ones. I'm thankful for gardens.

I love Kali Torrie

Kali and I have had 2 great days.  I think general conference was a good wake up call for me, and I have felt that the most important thing for me to do right now is be a good Mom to Kali.  I am trying to have more patience, and we are talking about our feelings, and how they affect our lives and especially our spirits.

We had the best talk tonight right before bed.  She has a friend at school who bullies her, but she doesn't want to tell on her because she doesn't want her to get into trouble.  She's also scared of her and frankly, I am too.  I worry about the future especially since this girl is only in grade one.  I feel sad that I have to send my baby into this world where I can't be there to "save" her.  I love my little girl and am totally behind her.
