Things To Love

right this minute… 021

Sorting through my 50,000 stacks of scrumptious recipes in anticipation of having a big fellow to cook for again…soon…hee, hee!

002

Trading out the futon bunk bed with the lumpy mattress, for a brand new, real live, grown-up, pillow-top, queen-sized, normal person bed…

with the perfect blanket on top.  :}  004

Having my very own teeny-tiny guardian angel fairy watching over me while I sleep…thanks, Emily!

033

Putting all the giant Nike high-tops back on the closet shelf in case a certain someone wants to wear them again…sometime.

 003

Rice crackers that remind me of my grade school in Los Angeles because a lot of the kids had them in sandwich bags and nibbled on them at recess. See the green spots on some of them? It’s seaweed…and those were the ones I tried not to get when I was offered a handful. And see that little half moon one just to the left of the middle? Yeaaah…that’s wasabi. It’ll blow the back of your head off and you may or may not cry for 10 minutes if you accidentally put it in your mouth during reading time.

The rest of them are great. :}

005

Getting a new, no kidding around space heater for the basement that Beany can’t force into shut-down mode by laying on it. So ha.

032

Washing and hanging up lots of colored shirts and jeans because I’m thinking they might be a welcome sight very soon for….

well…you know.

What about you? What are you loving–right this very minute?

Our Favorite Thing

It’s a funny thing to think about–getting all these people in one room at the same time. Quite likely, we just need a bigger room I guess.

But until that time, we’ll just snuggle up…

and enjoy being together.

Whether we’re listening to beloved speakers from General Conference

or eating all the mini feasts that each session brings…

one of the best parts is passing that sweet baby around…

or watching the kids taking their own “notes.”

It warms my heart to watch my kids with their kids…

or with their spouses having such a good time–living, learning…

and just hanging out with some of our very favorite people.
