conference

i love general conference.

traditionally, we watch conference together as an extended family, with hot coffee cake coming out of the oven at mom and dads, but this year, mom and dad are gone, so this morning i got up and whipped up a coffee cake.
audrey pointed out that we should really call it "conference" cake a few years ago, so when it was ready this morning, we ran downstairs inbetween talks to grab a piece. the three of us stood there, staring at the cake, mouths watering. eli looked at it, looked back at us and said, "whats in this?... jesus?" who knows why he said that, all i can think of is jesus was just on his mind as we were talking about him right before the cake.... who knows....
what i do know is that even though he was coloring while the talks were on, he was listening, and commenting on things he would hear. someone made a comment about love, he turned to cj and said, "hey, i love you too!", a picture of jesus came on, "hey, there is jesus, my older brother."
i was really proud of eli today listening, learning and paying attention to conference. so important.
