Washing the car


At the San Antonio temple




Feet up and fancy free.

I'd like to note that I do still think, I just haven't been able to think at a computer, on the blog.
Books of note:
Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. As gorgeous or better than I remember it, but leaves you with a sense of strong melancholy because you realize, finally, that it is about leaving that thing we call home and what it means to actually "keep" people and places--perhaps that is just a form of haunting.
To the Rescue: The Biography of Thomas S. Monson by Heidi Swenson. Loved learning about the prophet, predictable syntax, needed 6 more months of revision for organization. But good information.
The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain. Fun and kind of geeky. Not a favorite, but worth reading. Felt like a testing ground for Twain.
Jane Eyre by Charolotte Bronte. Love it. I don't think I'd want to tell ghost stories with the Bronte sisters; I might start believing them. I first read this book before age 12 and remember being completely shocked about the woman in the attic. How did I miss all the clues? Ah, first reads.

We Love Life








Awesome bedhead coupled with a very handsome daddy.

Yesterday, Levi took out some of our baking pans and arranged them by size. Oh dear..
whose child is this? Mine; of course.
Levi started trying on our shoes this week.


We all miss Grandma.

 Levi likes to help Lincoln swing and listen to music.
Thankfully, Lincoln likes swinging.

 Levi holds his brother.

 Lounging with Grandma.

 Snow day in Texas. Everything canceled; melted by noon.
