"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."

Woke up to snow today. Our Halloween activities were impacted by Ol' Man Winter -- Trunk or Treat cancelled, running through the sleet to get to the Halloween recital (piano book soaked). "Davy Jones Plays His Organ" was heard by the residents of a local nursing home, except that it was Luke and he was playing the piano. For only having two months of lessons under his belt the boy did phenomenally well, as he does whenever HE decides to do something (as opposed to when it's my idea).
Now he's embarked on his first sewing project -- a costume of some character from Homestar Runner -- don't ask me who or why, I really don't care or want to know anything about it. As long as he's happy Trick-or-Treating with his buddies, I'm happy.

So, I thought having a baby would make time go slower...

And it did for a while, when Seth's Circadian cycle of eat-sleep-diaper-repeat was only about two hours long. Many of those cycles fit into a 24 hour period, which made the days seem long and the nights endless.
But then he started sleeping better, and he started growing like a dandelion, and time sped up again until it's the same as before. Run, run, run, take care of this and that, and the day is gone. So click here to see him at his giggly best.
In other family news, Luke was called to be the deacon's quorum president -- now he'll get to be the one making sure the front two benches are full on Sunday. It will be good for him.
I'm still working with LDSEHE planning next year's conference. I'm the speaker coordinator this year so it will be fun and challenging.
The three (four with Nick) big kids are all doing awesome -- moving along toward their goals.
