Primary Program



Here we are about to embark for church and this year's Primary program.

It was fantastic! Kim did so well teaching the kids the songs and even getting them to learn sign language signs for one of the songs. The whole audience was still, watching the children sign "I know He lives." Of course there was the kid who talks too loudly in the microphone, the kid who never sings - just waves to his family, the kid who is more interested in what his neighbor is doing than actually participating, but it was what we come to see each year. I remember that Kim and my first Sunday in our new ward after being married it was Primary program Sunday. I remember attending church that week for the first time as husband and wife and looking forward to seeing our own children someday participate in a program. As Kim and I celebrated our 12th anniversary this weekend, it was a special feeling to sit with my two little ones and watch my wife and four older children perform. I love them all so much and Primary program Sunday is a great showcase of it all.

Since it was a special day, we got all jazzy and snapped some photos to boot. Here you go:

You guys did look very snazzy today. I think Kim is amazing and thank goodness I was hiding behind CTR 4 with my teary eyes when they were singing and signing. Beautiful!!

Jen, I am glad that you said that. No one has really made many comments to me, and I was way curious about the signing. I thought I would have gotten more feedback. You'd think I could tell myself, but I can not watch the kids too much or I mess up my own signs. I am glad that you felt the spirit. I love the message of that song and I feel it even more as we sign. And for the record, I am not amazing. You amaze me!

Your family looks great. Kim, you have done a great job. Our branch has the program next week. My kids are the only ones who know the songs. I give you all the credit. You do an excellent job with singing time.
