Random News and Pictures

I've been lax in my blogging since we moved here. I've missed out on recording a few things, nothing major, but still fun to remember.



A couple months ago, Samuel's Cub Scout pack had their Pinewood Derby. It was Samuel's first and he loved it! He designed and painted his car, we just helped a bit with the cutting and sanding. The whole ward was invited and after several heats, he won third place! There were about 45-50 cars total that ran, so he did great!

Adam tried eating a slice of lemon for the first time, and this is his reaction :)

Aaron's new favorite game is Magic: The Gathering. It's a card game, that has a story line and is collectible. He's really enjoying it, and the boys have fun helping Daddy open the cards and look at the cool pictures on them.

Adam put on a "show" for us one night, just before bedtime. He was very cute and Aaron got a sideways video clip of the beginning.



He sang a song, told a story and then took lots of bows and demanded lots of applause. We happily complied :D

Dorothy, the elderly lady that I work for, fell and broke her hip on Friday. It happened just before I got there, and I followed the ambulance to the hospital and stayed with her until they got her settled for the night, into her own room. She's stable and doing better now and she's in a rehab center until she can get back on her feet.

I got a pretty Tiffany-like lamp for Mother's Day. I found it for a great price on Craigslist. Love it!

Samuel was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and we're in the process of figuring out if we should put him on medication or if there are other options that we should pursue.

Otherwise, we are all doing well when we're not sneezing our heads off from allergies. Ah, well. It's the price we pay for living in such a beautiful area!
