This seems to be a pattern with me. I wake up each morning with grandeous ideas of what I want to do with my day and inevitably I am walking through sludge by 11:00 and ready for a nap by 1. Nothing real exciting to report. But if you are having trouble sleeping at night read on...this is certain to make you sleepy.
- We had our Primary Program (the 3-11 year old kids in our congregation). As always it was fabulous. The first and only time we will have ALL our children in it. What a treat to be sitting all by our little selves! The kids all had speaking parts, but Rachel also had a piano solo which was fantastic! She amazes me. She memorized her piece and used no music...she looked like a lounge pianist looking around as she played, almost as if she was ready to take requests. I'll see if I can video her and post it...
- Rachel and Seth are in soccer...Seth had 2 goals in his last game. He loves his long soccer socks and wears them whenever he gets a chance...pulled all the way up like "thigh highs"! Even when he has nothing else on!
- Jonah's head is healing...he should get his staples out Friday or Monday...whenever I get around to taking him in.
- Luke's diet is going...well...it's going. It stinks. He is a trooper. Me not so much. We have seen some improvement since he has been completely off his medication, and I think even in the past week maybe even some more improvement...it's hard to tell when he's at school all day. The teacher is pretty good about letting me know when she sees seizures. It is an emotional roller coaster for me...one that unfortunately Jared has to ride too. The other day Seth got some Starbursts and gave one for me to put up into the cupboard for when "Lukie is done with his diet." It was so sweet. He asks me frequently to check if it's still there. He doesn't quite get that we could be doing this for 3 years.
- My spare room is coming along...I am allowing myself a few bins that will fit into the closet and anything that doesn't fit into them has to find a new home. It's liberating.
- I've also been working on "decorating" really just getting stuff put up that I already had, but it is finally looking like "home" to me. The game room will showcase our love for the Lone Star State! I will post pictures when I'm done, but I found this cute metal bucket that I wanted to put some wheat lookin' stuff in. I was too cheap to buy the wheat stuff at Michael's so I went out at night in my pajama's with my scissors and cut me some from the common area landscaping in the neighborhood. Trust me you can't even tell...I check the bushes I "trimmed" each time I drive by and if I hadn't done it myself I'd never suspect a thing.
That's about it. Maybe someday I'll have enough energy to some up with a clever post...one that will make you laugh instead of putting you to sleep. 'Til then...

Your posts aren't boring!! I love them. Sometimes I'd wish you'd make me up a room in your Idaho retreat and let me be your kid. It sounds like they are having a wonderful time!!
Wish I could have seen you hunting wheat. I'd have gone with you, even. HA!
Ooohh, I can't wait to see pics of the game room. Boring posts?? serioulsy Beck, your posts are far from boring!
I am totally laughing imagining the late night wheat cutting. You are awesome!
Trimming the wheat outside makes perfect sense to me. Hopefully, you guys (really just Luke, but you are on it too!!) won't be on that diet for 3 years, but I certainly look up to you and your possitive attitude about it. You guys are troopers.
