As all moms are involved in ongoing family research, and being a mom places me strongly in that category.  I have lately been doing some thinking about how important it is to protect what has historically been the nuclear family:  dad, mom, children.    Being a member of the LDS Church, I appreciate the values stated in the Proclamation on the Family.  I have found it interesting that the topic of family, and what is defined as a family has been a hot one in the last few years.  Recall Prop 8, and now the Presidential election has been skirting around this topic, too.  Interesting that President Obama stated he has no problem with same gender marriages.  With all this in mind, I read today's Editorial in the DesNews citing a recent study about families.  What an eye-opener.  If you wish to review it and be informed, here is the link:   http://desne.ws/JWoLm0

On a completely separate (yet equally important) topic, I wish to post the stats in our SUMMER READING CONTEST.  My daughters, I will text you for this week's reports!
 
     Here is an addition to the Rules of the Contest:

  •            Books on Gospel or Church topics are worth double points!
Now let's get to reading, everyone!
