We usually play while Naomi and Noah are napping. Ellen and I work together until she loses interest, and then I'm on my own. The funny thing is that Anne almost always wins. I think there have only been two times that she hasn't won. James won those two times. Yesterday she did it again. I think the best thing about it is the good sportsmanship we are all gaining. Plus it is really nice to do something fun as a family. We all look forward to it. One other thought. I heard a neat thought in Primary yesterday. One of the talks was given by one of the 11 year old girls. She was talking about serving others and the happiness it brings us. She came up with this thought for JOY. J is for Jesus, O is for Others, Y is for yourself. That is the way to joy. Think first of Jesus, then others, then ourselves. Neat, huh?

It seems so odd that Anne and Stephen are old enough to play Monopoly. I still think of them as toddlers.
Gran will LOVE to play a game with you next time you visit. She's simply brutal when she plays. If you can beat her, you know you're good.
As for JOY, I think I will have to use that myself. Maybe when I do sharing time in a few weeks.
