Coming together
The plans we set in motion seven months ago are finally coming to fruition. The sixth bedroom is done. The basement is getting carpeted – finishing tomorrow – so that we can begin living in the whole house. And we had our piano delivered today so that for family scriptures tonight we sat singing hymns.…

Labor day
Laura wanted to go kayaking today but I had determined that I had too much work to do today. By 6:30 this morning I was unloading the trailer. By the time I woke everyone up (Emma and Noah were already awake) at 8:45 I had unloaded the trailer, designed a shelving system for the garage,…

Biking family
Yesterday after dinner Noah wanted to try riding his bike without training wheels. First try he took right off and ride down the street. I spent the rest of the evening running after him to help him get started after he stopped. He loved it but we decided to put the training wheels back on…

Jasper returns
Before we sold the house Isaac dropped Jasper in the garage and he stayed hidden for several days before we found him when cleaning out for our house inspection. Within a couple of days Jasper got out of his cage (we can’t be sure how) and has been missing every since. (Apparently Savannah had seen…

Guinea pigs

Runaway
About the time the Blue and Gold banquet ended Alyssa walked away from Mom’s house. Over the next two hours I was driving Enoch and Savannah to Lehi and rehearsal respectively. That should have been ample time for Alyssa to return but she didn’t. I spent another hours in Mom’s neighbors searching for her. Just…

Two away
Tonight we sent Emma and Ezra to live with Andy and Lily as the first step in helping out family recuperate from the ridiculous levels of stress that have arisen from our dysfunction. We already knew things were bad – that’s why we embarked on such an unconventional plan – but things like the discovery…

Coming into focus
Last night we had a long discussion with Andy and Lily and agreed to have Ezra and Emma go stay with them in Idaho. Between them and us we should be able to see the Ezra and Emma every couple of weeks in person. Tonight we talked with Emily and Phil, who offered to take…

A path forward
I took today off to be at two meetings for Enoch. Each was scheduled for an hour and each took over 2 hours. At the first meeting we went to Matt’s Place and meet with a counselor named Shirlene. I love the fact that she soon identified that what Enoch needed was to have the…

Tender hearts
Early morning I saw that the bunnies were out of their pen and asked Isaac to bring them back into the garage. As I left at 8:10 to go to work (from Mom’s house today) I saw a small animal lying in the road. As I got near I realized it was our bunny, Spice.…
