I may have already mentioned that I got a new calling at church last week. I get to be a Nursery Teacher! In my last calling I’d occassionally get to substitute in the Nursery and would always say how much I liked it and would love to serve there officially. I guess God was listening, [...]

Grandpa, an expert golfer, gave Degen his first golf lesson this morning outside at his miniature driving range. Every time one of the balls would make it to the net (even after many swings on its way there), Degen would yell “I WIN!” We are really enjoying spending more time with Grandpa!

When I’m not pregnant I very rarely take naps. Why? 1) Because I don’t really get that tired during the day. 2) Because even if I am that tired it’s hard to figure out how to get the kids to both go to sleep at the same time or be in an otherwise safe state [...]

We made it to California! Yay! We actually got here a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t had constant access to a computer like I’m used to until today. The truck arrived yesterday, and was unloaded by Colin and some generous men from our new Elder’s Quorum and my sister-in-law’s very helpful boyfriend. Thanks [...]

Primary’s May Theme is… Heavenly Father planned for me to come to a family. I can strengthen my family now. “The family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children” (“Proclamation,” paragraph 1). …and I’m in charge of Sharing Time next week. Next week’s lesson in the Outline goes like [...]
I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning. It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance. People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take [...]
