So yesterday I read Cameron a bedtime story about Jesus. At the end it says that He promised to come back some day as a King. This is the conversation that followed:
Cameron: "Where will He go when He comes back?"
Stacy: "I'm not sure exactly, but my guess would be the temple."
Cameron: "We should go there and wait for Him."
Stacy: "Well, we could, but we don't know when He is coming."
Cameron: "What's His cell phone number? We should call Him and ask Him."
I thought it was so cute. I love to watch the simple faith of my child grow. Another experience we had this week was on Monday night. We went to temple square for family home evening and while we were sitting in front of the Christus statue in the visitors center, Cameron turned to me and with a whisper and very solemn eyes asked as he pointed to the ceiling, "Mommy, is that Heaven?" It's times like this that remind me how rewarding motherhood can be. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a mother. I know that not all women have this opportunity, and even for me, it has been a struggle to get there, but I'm so grateful for the precious moments that I have with Cameron. What a joy he is.

Our children teach us so much don't they. There divine nature just shines through. Motherhood truly is a blessing.
What a wonderful comment - it brought tears to my eyes. You are such an amazing mother and I have always admired your many talents! Andrew misses Cameron soo much and we miss seeing you guys!
Sounds like you are doing a great job teaching Cameron about the gospel. It is awesome when children ponder about Christ and what is yet to come. Are you pregnant yet? How is that going? I hope your body is getting worn out from all the tests(and your pocket book;)
Stacy,
I just saw you guys have a blog from Kristy's. That story about Cameron is precious, he is such a cute little guy! We have a blog too, but it's private, if you want me to send you an invite, just drop me an e-mail at clearblueshoes@yahoo.com. I hope all is going well with your family!
