Over the weekend, Tyler stayed with my sister, Rachel, and her husband, Alex. Not only did Alex serve a mission in Taiwan - he served in the SAME mission as Tyler did! How cool is that?! I am awaiting pictures of the three of them eating out at Cafe Rio and playing a rousing game of Scrabble. :) Here is a picture I do have of Tyler waiting for a session of GC to begin:
Whereas the talks of General Conference have been wonderful, I've been having a difficult time playing single mom to 3 kids. There are times when I feel so ill-equipped to be a mama for two special needs children. I've read articles, blogs, and been to counselling for the kids. But sometimes...it's just hard. And words can't always make it better. And yet, I trudge onward, hoping that Christ will more than make up for my lack of patience and understanding and sanity as a mama.

I am glad Tyler had the opportunity to go to General Conference. I am sure that was a wonderful experience.
It is cool he ran into someone you met when you adopted your children.
I am sorry this weekend was difficult. Your children are very blessed to have you as their mom. You are a great mom.
Oh, I so get that one! So glad Tyler got to come out her, but no, it is not fun to be left a lone mama, especially when the kids go nuts without daddy there!
I loved conference too although I missed the first session on Saturday because of work so I have to look those ones up :) I am glad Tyler enjoyed his visit here now we just have to meet you and the kids as well! :0
