Sunday at 2:30 in the afternoon. Growing up, it would be nap time. Reasons for not sleeping? Call it sympathy. Lj is doing Stake Employment.
20 bucks I called my mom right now, she’s sleeping!
We had our second Sunday in our new ward. We attempted our second week of leaving Sara in nursery. Wishful thinking. A nursery leader came to get one of us 15 minutes later, after she had had snacks, she was done.
While sitting with Sara in nursery, I met a younger couple that lives in our apartment complex. Or condo complex, or whatever this place is called. It’s great because they have a little girl just 4 days older than Sara, and about the same size too. Hello play dates! Sara was happy to see all the kids to play with today. When either mom or dad are there, Sara seems to think nursery is heaven on earth.
I was also happy to learn today that this super hot weather we’ve been having this week is a heat wave, and very unnatural for this time of year. I was about to pack my bags if spring started off this hot (90′s). I didn’t think I’d make it through July and August. Fortunately, Lj and I learned that it typically is a gradual heat increase. They say it’s suppose to be in the 70′s about now. Let me just remind us all that it was 60 and drizzling here last Sunday. I didn’t think I had brought enough warm clothes. I was quickly reassured that I had brought appropriate attire.
These were taken this morning, before church…

Hello my dear family! What a sweet experience it is to see your children living righteously in the world! How gateful MEndy and I are for the lives that each of our children live and for the love we enjoy because of the institution called family. Ashley, Lj, and sara we love you all so much! Sara you just look like heaven to me and oh how I miss you all! I am thankful that you haver made it to your new ward and are making some friends. Enjoy this journey for it will yield experiences that will strengthen your faith in the Savior! Always remember who you are and that the powers of Heaven are at your disposal when needed. Heavenly Father and the Savior are closer than we realize. The heat sounds enticing, but remember that heat is from the DEVIL!!! and you should avoid for long periods of time if you catch my meaning. Be safe and know how much we love each of you and pray for your welfare and success.
Love Dad & Grandpa & Mom & Grandma!!xoxoxoxoxoxo
