Wow. Has it really been 2 years since I've seen Alan? Yes, why, yes it has.
We missed this little redhead! It's been 3 years since we've seen her... over half of her little life!
Me and my handsome brothers
Look at all those cute grandkids! Grandma and Grandpa are pretty cute, too!
Alan gets a kiss...
Emma is totally grossed out.
They're happy now. What a cute family!
The family! (Missing Alexia, Lexie, my step-kids and grandbabies) Hi David!
Grandpa played ball when mom was too tired. I'm lucky to have a great dad!
The family take 2! (David taking the pic this time)
Can't wait to see Allison again!
"There is genuine concern over the diminishing role of the father in the home. His influence is fading. Presiding responsibilities formerly assumed are left either to the mother or to agencies outside the home. This diminishing role is at the root of a multitude of our problems. Numerous things go awry when the scriptural family organization is upset!
The father is the patriarch in the home. This means that the father is the presiding authority. This does not mean that he should be dictatorial. Modern scriptures set forth qualifications for all who preside:
'No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned. …' (D&C 121:41.)"
