Random Pictures

-
Okay. Today is random picture day. No, it is not as exciting as seeing pictues of a brand new baby, but oh well.

The first picture was taken on one of the days a couple weeks ago when Lindy was here. She was impressed to see Hannah helping Peter on his little laptop game. The two of them do get along really well together most of the time, and it is nice that Hannah can help Peter when I am otherwise occupied. (Can you see the two cats under the table?)




This was taken on November 2nd, a few minutes before we left to go to dinner and see "Wicked". I know I already said it, but I really enjoyed having Lindy and Thom here, and our evening out was a blast. We should do things like that more often! (Note the black cat lying on top of the TV stand on the right.)







This picture was taken on my bed on Sunday. Yes, we really do have four cats here. From left to right they are: Abish(the mom), Ishmael(the dad), Lamoni (called LaLa by the kids) and Moroni (called MoMo by the kids). Steven thought April might like to see what her cats looked like the day her baby was born.

It snowed on Saturday and Sunday, but there was a little snow left yesterday for Hannah to scrape together a snowman, complete with stick mouth, stone eyes and a carrot nose. It started out with just the orange hat shown here, but ended up with coat, scarf, boots, and pulling a wagon with a friend riding in it. I took a picture this morning, but it had already started melting.

A Talk about Gratitude

-
I recently told my bishop that I enjoyed giving talks in Sacrament Meeting, and it is true. I didn't expect, however, that I would get an email from a bishopric member on Thursday last week to say that his talks for Sunday had to leave town, and would I be willing to speak? Here is the talk that I gave on Sunday, May 27th, 2012: For my topic today, I was given a talk which was given by President Monson in 1992, entitled “An Attitude of Gratitude”. In his talk President Monson begins by telling the story of the 10 lepers. I would like to share it with you. In Luke 17 we read: And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” And when he saw them, he said unto them, “Go show yourselves unto the priests.” And it came to pass, that, as they went, ...

School closing, Josh adventures, Back pain relief...

On Wednesday school was cancelled all over the Denver area because there was a credible threat that an 18 year old woman with a fixation on the Columbine shooting would attack a school. Apparently she arrived in Denver and bought a gun and then vanished, so they shut down everything just in case. (They found her body later that day... She committed suicide. More info here .) John was frustrated that school was cancelled because one acts are coming up (they are this week!) and he needed the rehearsal time. Instead, John took advantage of the free day to go to School of Mines to check out the campus and talk to someone about getting his admission deferred. I got a ride to my book club, and both of us were home again before Josh and Peter rolled out of bed. Early in the afternoon I took Josh to Children's Hospital to see a cardiologist about his seizures . They did an EKG, but the results were normal. He doesn't have a heart murmur or anything else they could identify. I still thi...
