Now the day is over

As if it's Christmas or Easter or a birthday, my family and I have been closing emails and phone calls this week with, "Happy Conference!" Hey, we're quirky. But what a wonderful General Conference it has been! Tonight I have that peaceful feeling that always comes after the Sunday afternoon session. A big sigh that we have to wait six months for Conference to come again, and a big smile trying to store up and savor all the good moments of Saturday and Sunday.

We watched the morning sessions (well, noon for those of us in the Eastern time zone) at our house, and managed to get both kids asleep so that we could actually give the speakers our full attention. For the afternoons, we went to Jensens to watch with Amber and Andrew (Keith and Nan are out of town, alas). Also, Nana has a bigger playroom on a different floor than our preferred Conference-watching space, so it works out well for Ellie. She can explore the basement toys and we can enjoy the session! Today we also had the twinners, Jacob and Claire, so it was quite a party in Nana's playroom (requiring some intervention by the adults upstairs every so often).

Now we are home, and I'm feeling grateful for all that we learned this weekend, and all that we'll continue to learn as we re-read or re-watch the addresses. I don't have much more to report in this post, just that I am grateful, grateful, grateful for General Conference.

Happy Conference!

PS: The picture? Ellie said, "Mom, I take notes. We watch the satellite? And Conference?"
