Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day. The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you. Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes. Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies. The wind is low, the birds will sing, that you are part of everything. Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile. Dear Prudence, like a little child. The clouds will be a daisy chain, so let me see you smile again. Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

Look around, round, round. Oh look around.

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day. The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you. Dear Prudence.... won't you come out to play.

David and I really seem to like the idea of naming a Daughter Prudence. I normally don't get into names like that. However, it's such a pleasent song. It just makes one Happy. And I like the idea of having a Daughter's name inspire so many happy thoughts that you just want to sing.

That's a little bit of the reason I like Elysia's middle name, Noelle, so much. And with her being born in December, I sing "The First Noel" to her every year at Christmas time.
