FHE

 Each Monday night, a different member of our family is in charge of Family Home Evening.  We just rotate through, so every six weeks, everyone has a turn.  The person in charge chooses the topic, activity, dessert, the works.  The running joke is that every time it's dad's turn, he teaches "The Value of Hard Work." Last time it was dad's turn, though, he took us on a family horseback ride.
 We love riding together.  It's something we can do that we all enjoy.
 Titus rode behind me, and we were only in the saddle for about an hour when he started saying, "Let's go back to the trailer, mom."
 A few days before our FHE ride, we saddled up with Titus behind Isaac, which worked out great too.
One night for FHE, the home Grandma Mary lives in invited all the families over for games and dessert.  We were so glad we got to go visit.  We are glad they take such good care of Grandma there.

We're far from perfect, but we do make an effort at having Family Home Evening.  Titus usually leads the music, and last week, right when Daisy was bearing a sincere testimony about the Sabbath Day, he was screaming and throwing a fit about playing with his toys and got sent to his room.  Far from perfect.  Daisy even said, "This is awkward" as part of her testimony since he was so disruptive.  The good news is, we love being together, and so we'll keep trying.
