Years ago, a young man enrolled in the University of Utah for a Master of Engineering Degree. Soon, a professor talked him into pursuing a Master of Science in Engineering. Then this young man’s wife became pregnant and very ill…lather, rinse, repeat. Around the time the second boy was born, this young man began to [...]
I finished the sewing project about which we would not have a discussion had I not finished it. Assuming you have recovered from the headache caused by the above sentence, I present…my first quilt!

Nathaniel turned three a few days ago! I remember so well the first glimpse I had of him when the doctor held him up for me to see. Now he is such a happy little boy, smiling at everyone. I am so blessed to have such a joyful son. His giggles can lift me out [...]

Here’s the new four-year-old blowing out his candles and eating a cupcake!
The boys and I have been working on their Catechism questions again this week every morning and afternoon as they finish breakfast and lunch. This morning, Timothy knew all the answers without any prompting! I taped him a little later, and while he did need one prompt, I think he did quite well. He does [...]
