Redeeming the Dead

I had a good stab at the FamilySearch Indexing project today. I had only dabbled in it before, so I had made a 2011 goal to make regular contributions. I enjoyed the spirit of this great and easy way to contribute to our family history.

Flying Pies

Well, when pies fly, they really sail. Things have been a lot of fun around here, mostly due to Dallin and his glorious antics and April and her glorious glories. Perhaps in the spirit of Thanksgiving we give you this production of all the great things that have been going on in our little acreage here in life. We're happy that we're still breathing clearly, with, maybe, the exception of Dallin, who is slightly congested. But there is little that we can murmur about, given we've already found ourselves in the promised land and the milk and honey are freely flowing. And it's snowing!

Good Sunday Links

Church as it could be

Perhaps I should say, "church as it will be." This morning, as I was tying my tie for my Sunday frock and April and I looked on into the mirror, I said, "If we had a baby, we'd have to get up an hour earlier." And here is the scenario we postulated:

- Wake up baby
- Change baby
- Feed baby
- Bathe baby
- Baby poohs in the bath
- Change bath
- Clean baby
- Clothe baby
- Put down baby
- Parent showers
- Other parent showers
- Feed baby
- Burp baby
- Baby barfs
- Change baby clothes
- Get baby in car seat
- Drive to church
- Unload baby
- Find a seat
- Baby poohs
- Change baby
- Return to meeting only to discover Sunday school has already started

April was quick to point out that, "With that kind of schedule, you'd need to get up 2 hours earlier." Perhaps we just will. Then all this talk about me loving our new 9am church schedule will quickly change in favor of 11am.
