Funny Things...

I know this year I've done a rather lousy job at keeping my blog up.  I've been too busy for much contemplative thought about many things, although teaching Gospel Doctrine on the New Testament has definitely helped me think about some wonderful spiritual matters and religious truths.  That's been great; but the contemplative stuff about life, kids, glass-half-full stories and moments like those have been lost on me lately.  (Note to self: should definitely start-up my neglected gratitude lists...)

Forget entries about my inner workings since I can't make much sense of those these day so forget me being eloquent in writing about them.  You will have to content yourselves with pithy things my kiddos say and do and 10 second videos I can nab of Moses being silly...

Noah and I were reading Duck for President the other night; a fabulous book given to us by neighbor friends that know all about cool books - (you know who you are) - and we were talking about who a governor is, and who the president is, and what responsibilities they have.  And Noah then asks, "So is the governor the boss of Jesus?"

Along the "things you thought you'd never hear a kid say," -  "Dad, I think I lost my quesadilla." And truly he had.  James searched the car and never could find that sly piece of cheesy tortilla...

This summer when I had to go on a 2 night business trip to NYC (all by myself!), Noah prayed for me that "Please bless momma that she will be surrounded by a force field."


Moses isn't quite to the talking stage of life yet, but man, he sure can make his opinions known.  He can make sounds that I believe could shatter glass.
