    We had a lovely evening at Andy and Marsha’s tonight. It was fun to talk to Aaron about mission experiences before the party got started and then it was relaxing to watch the movie. (I actually stayed awake the whole way through.) Before the party I took Noah when I went shopping and we got…

    With only two of the younger kids at home today it was very quiet. I was able to get a lot of good work done. When the therapist called from Vantage Point he said that Ezra was being more cooperative than at his previous visit and that it seems Ezra sees Vantage Point as a…

    Ezra got mad that Laura was allowing Noah to get media tomorrow that he had already earned so he hit Noah and left the house. I locked the doors behind him. After I had let him back into the house he left and walked to Vantage Point. When they called and asked if he should…

    I wanted to talk to Carl to pick his lawyer brain for a minute and “Sunday afternoon” was his availability. That showed me how much I have packed in to most Sundays. We have: I didn’t get to call Carl until 9PM At least I know I’m not bored and surfing YouTube but I definitely…

    I went to the temple this morning and did my morning prayer there. That obviously provides taking notes as I normally do but I knew my one action item was to contact Bishop to learn more about the temple needs to see if any would work for me. By the end of the day Bishop…

    We did game night with the Jacobson’s tonight. It was great to get both families together again. It was also cool that the kids were more interactive together. Some of our other gatherings the kids have been disconnected. I think part of it is more maturity where before they were young enough to not really…

    After a productive day of work I suddenly got a message from Tovey about a client who wanted to recover some logs that got deleted from their database. I ended up working an extra hour and a half trying to make some progress and then went straight from that to the summer cook off. It…

    I am getting more and more excited for our camp at Old Pinery. Today we made reservations for the challenge course, the zip line, and the axe and knife throwing. I also decided to take a couple of hours off work so that we could go up earlier. I also discovered that Camp Haven—that I…

    I reached out to Owen Johnston today. I have no ministering assignment with him but his family has disappeared for some time and I just felt that they needed to know they are remembered and missed. Separately while I was out walking I got a text from Brother Hoopes asking if I could come over…

    Bex got a job offer at her interview today and decided to go out to eat as a celebration. That threw off the schedule after work and I recognize that on other nights I would have let that prevent going to the park but I made a point to get people off their electronics and…
