This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical. It was an adventure! It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long. The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a little […]

When my mother found out Maggie and I were going to be at our “family reunion” in DC, she said she wanted to pay to bring Degen and Colin. So she bought them tickets and we’re all going to Washington, DC, for the graduation. Yay!

Degen is really interested in colors and numbers right now. If I say “What’s that, Degen?” he answers with what the color of the object is. Right now he’s especially interested in eye color. Most days he tells me several times the eye color of each person in our family. Yesterday he convinced the missionaries […]

Last night we didn’t do my Repentance lesson for FHE because I’d forgotten that we’d invited the missionaries over to teach the lesson! They came over to teach us a lesson on the Preach My Gospel book that they use to help them learn to be better missionaries. I’ve been trying to read […]

Maggie has started taking her diaper off again… I have to put her in outfits that keep her hands from those diaper tabs or I find her running around with nothing on and a little puddle somewhere in the house. It’s cute and a little funny, but messy. And Degen has started to follow his […]
