Daddy's new calling

So after three years of serving in two bishoprics, Mike was released today. Kate was 1 1/2 when we started sitting by ourselves during church. So, last week we told the girls that daddy was getting a new calling. I overheard Kate trying to explain to Kara what daddy's new calling is.

Kate: Guess what Kara?
Kara: What Kate?
Kate: Do you know that daddy got a new job at chuch?
Kara: yeah, I do Kate (she is clueless by the way).
Kate: Isn't it so fun that daddy's new job in church will be sitting with us? Won't that be fun? He even gets to ride in our car with us to church. I can't wait! Won't that be so fun Kara? Aren't you so excited Kara?
Kara: yeah Kate, it will.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that Mike was able to serve where he has been, and our family has been so blessed, but we're sure excited for daddy's new calling!

Ryan and I both thought that was adorable. I'm sure it will be nice to have him 'back'.

Although we'll miss him in the bishopric for sure!

Jeff's been walking around super bummed that he doesn't get to work so closely with Mike anymore. But, he perked up once he realized Mike has time for guitar lessons now :)

That is so cute. It is so precious to see things through little children's eyes. They are so sweet and innocent - and say the cutest things.

We can so relate with you about the calling thing. Brandon was in two bishoprics for almost 4 years and was just released in July. It is so great to sit by each other at church now and to have help with the girls. I'm sure he did a great job, but I'm sure it will also be nice to have your hubby there at church again :)

I can't get over how cute those girls are. They seem so sweet, or maybe you just post the sweet pictures.
