I'll be a SUNBEAM for Him!!

Josh and I just got a church calling....

If you haven't guessed it by now, we are the new Sunbeam teachers in our ward!! We have taught our first two lessons, and I absolutely love it! We have 8 of the cutest 3 and 4 year-olds around. Seriously, they are all adorable! And for the most part, they are all good natured children, which is a huge help considering there are 8 of them. There is this one little blonde girl that I want to take home with me. She is pretty much the epitome of what I want our future daughter to look like-blonde hair,big blue eyes and an adorable little face. I would pretty much keep any of the kids in the class though. Josh wasn't too sure if he would enjoy this calling, but he loves it! (Babe-don't kill me for stating the truth!) :)

I thought this calling would be good birth control for me, but it is having quite the opposite affect. I love noticing how much these young kids love and adore their parents. They talk about them during the lesson and their little faces light up when their parents come to get them after class. Last Sunday we had one little straggler who's parents hadn't come and gotten him yet. We started walking down the hall with him and found his dad, and as soon as his dad picked him up, he exclaimed, "I love you, Daddy!" There is nothing cuter than hearing those words. I can't wait for the day that our kids say those 3 words to us. It will be heaven.
