Medical day
I had a dental check-up yesterday and this morning I got a couple of cavities filled as well as having most of my old fillings replaced. At the same time Laura was taking Mariah to see a surgeon to evaluate the hernia that she had been diagnosed with on Wednesday. The news from that was…

Paid vacation
I concluded today that anyone who employs me should pay me to take a short vacation every 3 to 6 months based on my productivity today. In my excitement for this trip I had ample energy to deal with everything that came my way and to reach out and proactively do things that wouldn’t even…

New arrangements
This weekend we’ve reorganized a few things which will hopefully have positive results. We moved Savannah and Alyssa into the room that Ezra and Noah were not really loving in and definitely not caring for. The boys are now officially roomless and sleeping in the family room. Before they officially had a room but were…

Parenting help
My day started with me going to put early so that I could fill the car with gas so that Savannah wouldn’t have to worry about that. See the end if work I walked to the Museum of Natural Curiosity so that the kids could keep playing there longer rather than coming to pick me…

Cruising
Today I felt so everything as I worked on reporting for our expired OKRs and planning the new ones.

Arise from the dust and be men
In that invitation for his sons to be men I hear the exaggeration, frustration, and pleading of Lehi. He sees the limitations of his influence and knows the sons her is speaking to are capable of being better than they have been performing. It is my tone with Isaac and often Enoch and Noah and…

Mitzi scare
If Mitzi does soon it will be at least partly my fault. I’ve noticed the last few weeks that she seems more frail and less lively. She doesn’t seem sick, just let energetic, like she is getting old (which she is). Today I didn’t notice that Alyssa had set her in my shoulder and as…

Piano girl
Tonight Savannah started looking at pianos on KSL classifieds while Laura and I were running errands. She made arrangements to go see pianos ranging in price from $800 to $50. I had warned her that any piano priced at $100 or less was very likely to be a reclamation project. The first 2 pianos sounded…

Goodbye Willow (and Sugar)
Soon after I came upstairs in the morning Marsha said she had to show me something in the garage. My first thought was to wonder if Jasper has escaped into Andy’s truck bed. Instead, as I should have known after the stress of yesterday, she showed me that Willow had died in the night. She…
