Tonight was a really fast Family Home Evening on General Conference.  We sang “I am a Child of God” (which Degen is starting to be able to sing along to), had a prayer, and then a quick lesson.  We told the kids that General Conference is on Saturday and Sunday and that we get to [...]

Last night Colin did an impromptu Family Home Evening lesson called “God Made Animals.”  He pulled a couple of the kids books off the shelf (it happened to be two Golden Books–Bambi and The Saggy, Baggy Elephant), named each animal picture with the kids, then told them that Heavenly Father made each animal because he [...]

Since I’ve lost (for the second or third time) my Q1 FHE Plan, I’m choosing my FHE lesson topic on the fly today.  Talking about the new first presidency of the church seems like a natural focus today since they were just announced.
