79 Days and Counting

as a brand new sunbeam, madison was given a chart to keep track of her daily scripture reading for the year.
(once we got back into town after holiday traveling)

i honestly thought the paper would find its way into the trash by the end of the week.

boy was i wrong.

 madison helped us remember to read scriptures before bedtime every night that week so she could fill in her next little box.

now we just started the book of mormon reader over again for the second time this year and have been at it for 79 days straight and counting.

(we missed one night - had friends over)

 madison noticed and pointed out on her own that everyone in the stories "keep going back and forth - good, bad, good."

and grace loves to point out all the prophets and bad guys.

what used to be a hit and miss thing for us is now a constant in our bedtime routine.

we are grateful and hopefully there is no going back.

i won't pretend every night is smooth sailing.  there are plenty of distractions. (sadie no longer joins us on the bed. :)
