What's the Latest?

Sorry about the lack of pictures and posts lately! Not much going on lately. I've been enjoying my spare time by painting and finishing up some projects. I am down to just three more rooms in the house to paint - Claire's room, the media room, and our bathroom!!!

Right now I should be preparing a talk for Sunday. With almost five hundred people in our ward, it's going to feel like speaking in Stake Conference, and I'm slightly stressed. Last week, I had to accompany a vocal solo and made the mistake of not taping the five pages of music together. All of my music fell into my lap near the end of the song! The bishop rushed over and picked them up for me and the song continued without interruption.

In other news, Jerry has been working A LOT lately -like 60 hours a week. It's a good opportunity for us to save lots of money right now, but we wouldn't be doing it if we weren't saving to have another baby. (Our insurance does not cover maternity expenses, although we get a discount.)

Miles seems to enjoy the quiet while Darren and Claire are at school. He takes several practice steps on his own each day, but still isn't walking regularly. Darren and Claire like school, although Darren doesn't like going every day, and Claire wishes she could go every day. I will leave you with a recap of our conversation this afternoon when I picked them up from school:

Me: So, Claire, tell me what your favorite part of the day was?
Claire: Umm, lunch!
Me: What did you learn about?
Claire: We learned about the "Bb" - AND I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ANYMORE!!!
Me: Darren, what was your favorite thing today?
Darren: Beating the girls in the bathroom!!!

Hey! I found your blog through another blog. (By the way, this is Vanessa (Monsen) from Temple ward... I'm married so I have a new last name.) Your kids are so cute!!! What does your husband do?

I didn't even notice your music falling last week! Thank goodness the Bishop was quick on his feet. I thought you did a great job at speaking as well.

Hope your talk went well, I'm sure you did great. You never seem to get nervous. Darren sounds like Josh about school; he told me his favorites were recess and science experiments. Can you believe they're growing up so fast?!?
