As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I really really look forward to the first weekend in October and the first weekend in April. During those special weekends, I get to listen to the Prophet and the apostles for two days at General Conference. After conference weekend, I am always uplifted and my faith is strengthened. General Conference has never failed to answer my questions about the Gospel, give me new direction for what I need to do in my life, and it just simply make me happier. I attended the General Relief Society broadcast last Saturday and it was exactly what I needed to hear. I am so thankful that the Church is run by inspired leaders who seek direction from God to guide the people on the earth. What a blessing it is to have prophets and apostles today to lead and guide us. Only a few more days until General Conference!
P.S. My friend sent me this link for fun things for kids to do during General Conference--we used a packet like this last April and T-Man and Fearless LOVED it.

Thanks for the link for the activity packet, I know it will come in handy for my kids.
We're in Creve Coeur, about 20-25 min from St. Charles. We live about 10 min from the temple. Now when you come to visit family, if you all want to do a session at the temple together you have someone who's happy to watch your kids!
When Claire was just starting to read we did a lot of the easy reader books from the library. Started with level 1 and a lot of Dr. Seuss's basic books. It's a lot of repitition of sight words, but perfect for beginning readers. Then we moved on to level 2, then 3.
After or around level three I think Claire was ready for beginning chapter books. They're great b/c they also have illustrations--which Claire must have so it's not a "boring" mom book. (:
I'm going to add you to my blog list as well. It'll be fun to watch your kids grow and change and hear how you're doing as well.
