We invited Dad and Mom over tonight to help teach us how to mark scriptures “Parker Style”. It was a great experience to have Dad call out the Book, Chapter and verse then see the kids scramble to find them. What a great example they have for a Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma was diligently following along in her Portuguese scriptures. Dad would give a short discourse when we read each scripture. I was touched by Mason as he would mark his exactly like I did, making sure to darken the same key words as me. Lily was insistent that she found the page it was on even if she couldn’t read all the words. Alexis took it upon herself to get a head start and was marking her scriptures today during Sacrament meeting. “What greater joy than to know that my children walk in the ways of the lord…”. Jodi made some great banana creme pies and had to show us how great the Hot Chocolate maker worked too. Olivia was having a ball with Grandma telling her (grandma) “your sunny” (funny) and “your toot” (cute). As they were leaving it started to snow just a skiff, so I took advantage of it to cool off my cocoa. It was a great experience for all of us. Thanks Mom and Dad.

Love the mug! It isn’t very big though. I remember learning to mark scriptures in seminary with dad, how fun. Brooke doesn’t understand and she likes to color in her scriptures too.
