Guinea pigs
Among the first things this morning Mariah called me to her room where she told me that Molly had died last night. We cried and talked about how much Molly had shown her love even while she was sick. Later tonight it occurred to me that she might have gotten such partly because I forgot…

Pet day
We never did find sugar yesterday and when I got home today I was told that Coconut had escaped again. While I was standing the kitchen not to minutes later I looked out the back door and said, ” there’s Coconut.” Noah looked up to see Coconut and said, “there’s Sugar.” Both bunnies found, in…

Lost bunnies
At 8:40 this morning Mariah called me to tell me that the bunnies had escaped from the outdoor pen I had constructed again on Saturday. I told her there was nothing I could do from work. The truth is that I prayed. I asked that we not have a repeat of Spice, that if we…

Saffron and Elli…ot
Not long after Savannah left this morning for the Utah Classic ballroom competition Mariah called me into their room. “Dad come look, you’ve got to see this.” While we purchased two female dwarf hamsters it turns out that Ellie is actually Elliot.

I had talked about working on Alyssa’s room today but instead I fixed the rabbit pen, laid carpet in the downstairs hallway, put up the new Roman shades that arrived today, and got all the kids to and from school at their appointed times. At the same time, Laura was going to her therapist and…

Prayers of the heart
Multiple shopping trips and getting the house cleaned (partly) were interspersed with looking for escaped bunnies. The worst was when all the disappeared and we could only find Coconut and Spice. Sugar was nowhere to be found. I didn’t stop and pray but my hope was that she would return on her own time before…

Getting sloppy
I spent all day running to various stores while juggling all the schedules. Eventually Laura and I went to see Tim Timmerman, Hope of America. We went in hopeful but we stained by a couple of unnecessary and inappropriate elements of the movie. While we were there one of the little kids managed to escape…
