Once a week

I have a friend who sometimes forces herself to blog at least once a week. I think I will start trying to do that.

Liesel is really great. I think I was expecting the recovery I had with Dashiell and it has been just the opposite. She will even just sit there for several hours and smile and doze in and out of sleep. I love having her around.

My new calling at church is keeping me busy. I was called to teach the 16-18 year old girls and am loving it. I actually haven't even taught a lesson yet, so next week will be my debut. I feel sorry for these girls. They intimidate me, and I feel pretty secure in who I am. I am glad I am done with that teenage/high school thing.

Michael took Nels and Dashiell on the ward Fathers and Sons camp out last night. It is amazing how tired Michael was with one, albeit rather active, night with his boys. (They were down on the beach and the train ran throughout the night.) It is also amazing how refreshed I feel after one night without my boys.

Tonight was the adult session of Stake Conference. They provide babysitting for the kids so that we can enjoy the speakers. It traditionally has been my favorite meeting of our Stake Conferences. I always enjoy the speakers chosen for the Saturday Night Session. The last two conferences however, I have started to wonder why I even go. Dashiell just doesn't like the nursery and either Michael or I, or both, end up out in the hall with him the entire time. I guess you just have to hope that you absorb bits and pieces of the evening. I think I did.

My mom and I did the flowers for stake Conference. They were very impressive and I rather liked them. Maybe I will take a picture tomorrow and post it for all to see.

Is this post random enough?

How about this, Nels and Dashiell are both in their own beds tonight. This is a great thing. Liesel is asleep and pretty content I believe. I think I am going to go and join Michael in bed and start my night dreaming of a good nights rest.

Until next week...
