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…

Enoch moved
Enoch moved to the Warden’s house this afternoon. I had hoped to be able to go down but the schedule didn’t work for that. I hear he is doing well so far but I would have liked to see him off. Thankfully I’ll get to see him on Thursday when I bring him up for…

Telling the kids
Tonight we told the rest of the kids or plans for who was going where. The day started with Mom telling me she thought Emma should stay closer than Idaho and held it the possibility of her spending days with Lisa. I love the thought of not sending her so far away but it would…

Andy and Marsha return
I enjoyed day 1 of the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit for work today then late in the afternoon I caught Trax up to the airport where Andy and Marsh returned from Odessa, Ukraine. I never recorded the fact that in December (the 19th as I recall) we got a visit from DCFS again due to…

Enoch is baptized
After all the stress and trouble at the well leading up to today we finally had the baptism along with the party and the play (Peter Pan). I was so thrilled that the baptism went smoothly and Enoch didn’t balk at standing in front of everyone. The peace was strongest as we stood confirming him…

End of fall soccer
Today amidst all the work of clearing Alyssa’s room and moving the bunny cages outside again to enjoy whatever is left of fall weather (and with Savannah at a ballroom thing in Idaho) we played our last three soccer games if the season. Ezra scored his first goal of the season and Noah played well…

Enoch transition
It seems that over the past few days Enoch has undergone an emotional transition. Every since he overcame his reticence to be baptized he has been more open. I think in deciding that he was willing to be baptized combined with the discovery that we could work through his concerns he had gained an emotional…
