Overheard

Cameron: Hey Ally, do you ever wonder what it was like in Heaven? You know, before we came to Earth?

Ally: Yeah. I wonder what we talked about.

Cameron: I wonder what Heavenly Father said before we left. Do you think He told us anything?

Ally: I don't remember.

Cameron: Hey, I know! Let's ask Maddie! She was just there like 2 years ago! Maybe she'll remember!

Ally and Cameron: MADDIE! Where are you?

Maddie: I right here!

Cameron: Maddie, do you remember what Heavenly Father told you before you came to Earth?

Maddie: Yeah.

Cameron: What did He say?

Maddie: Take pictures.

Cameron: He said to take pictures? Okay. Did He say anything else?

Maddie: Go.

Cameron: Go to Earth?

Maddie: Yeah. Go to Erf.

Cameron: So we need to go down to Earth and take pictures.

Maddie: Yeah.

Ally: We can do that!

Love this. I often wonder what parting words we had with our Father. So basically we NEED to be photographers and scrapbookers??

Kris said...

This is so sweet. I love how your kids just figured out who to ask, Maddie, of course, since she was there just 2 years ago. So cute.

Cutest. Thing. Ever. That is seriously priceless. I love how you type Maddie's way of speaking, I can totally hear it.

Well, you are on your way to the Celestial Kingdom then with all your picture taking!

My favorite part is imagining little Maddie's voice as she said "Go to erf". This was adorable!

That was totally awesome. I'm sure that will be stuck in your mind forever. What a priceless way to find out they are paying attention to what you guys are teaching them.

Speaking of taking pictures, what kind of camera do you have? It seems to take awesome pictures. So in heaven when we are back there, we'll definitely know which kids were Kim's. The ones with the great looking pictures.
