a completely wonderful day

Why today was a super great day:
  • I played opossum in bed while Cori made breakfast. Then I relaxed while he made me a sandwich for lunch. And I messed around on the computer while he made dinner. Then he cleaned up the kitchen while I gave the kids a bath before bed. A whole day without work in the kitchen.

  • Cori got to watch the BYU football game. On our TV. Live. It was an exciting game at the end with a semi-controversial call that the commentators are still talking about. Cori went totally crazy. Our kids had no idea what to think about their possessed father. It made me very happy to see him so very happy (crazed).

  • Gracie used her potty chair twice. She had a few accidents. But she is doing well. She has also accepted the idea of wearing underpants. Commando no more, hallelujah.

  • I got to spend a bit of my afternoon taking pictures of this cute family. Lillian and I became fast friends when we moved here. Her husband is a dentist and they were in need of a new picture for their phonebook ad. Don't they have beautiful kids?

Woo Hoo! I am so glad to hear about Gracie's progress. This time next week, I bet she will diaper free. :)

Thanks again for taking time out of your day (and night if you include Photoshop) to take those pictures. I LOVE them!!!! Thank you!!! I can't wait until our double date next weekend!

Holy smokes, Jesse, those pictures rock!! Great job!! I'd love to hear more details on how it went and anything you learned!

That is too funny about Cori. Tell him there were many, many BYU fans going crazy along with him. And I totally thought about you guys while I was there and wished you could be there, too, like our old BYU days. (Only now I can follow it a little better than I used to...). :)

What a great day! I love the pictures. The sleeping in sounds delightful. And the football game sounds incredibly familiar. We were watching with two other crazed fans in addition. I'm really surprised Jacob didn't have a breakdown!
