blessings

Grant on the merry-go-round at the zoo. We didn't go this week. But it still makes them so happy to talk about it. I love these kids of ours. This week, I'm also grateful for:

• Online driver safety class I got a hefty speeding ticket. Shame on me. But I didn't have to spend a whole saturday paying for it.


• A good run with our babysitting co-op We actually got into the swing of watching all those kids. And we are grateful to have gotten to know the families so quickly. But it wasn't going to be possible to leave Eden with the group anytime soon. So we have made some other arrangements. We were able to go to the temple Valentine's weekend. And we went to In N Out and the adult session of our stake conference last night.


• Jimmer Fredette and a glorious Saturday afternoon for the cougars. There has been a happy glow around here ever since.


• The wonderful place we live We took a hike through the nature preserve across the street yesterday. We see mountains from our windows. We have made lovely friends. We are happy and grateful to be here.
