This has been the year. Our miracle baby was born, we learned a lot and are still learning.
Just like the song says, "526,000 minutes. How do you measure a year in the life?"
Happy Birthday Sweet Baby James!

Clocks by Staci
My crafty cousin Staci (you know, the one who invented "craftify") also makes clocks, very crafty, no?
Anyway, she's having a contest and giving a clock away.

The Bad Aunt
I am a bad, bad Auntie.
Yesterday was McKay's birthday and I totally forgot!
This is McKay about the time we got married, he was such a cute little Peanut. He's 7 now, and quite the man. If you ever need the truth McKay is your guy.
Love this kid!

Tender Mercies
My good friend Lara posted about tender mercies today and asked what tender mercies have we had lately. I had to share this...
The last week or so has been interesting here in our little abode. We've been dealing with our own sicknesses, and that of sweet Baby James, oh and he's teething too. Did I ever mention how pleasant his personality has become? No?! Well, Mr Congeniality!
I had taken James' into the urgent care on Monday to be told what I had suspected all along...ear infection! Tuesday found us mostly sitting on the couch watching TV, or up on the computer watching Sesame Street clips on the internet. The point is James was sitting in my lap, calmly and not wanting to move around. This is so not him. He is just not a cuddler, or a sitter or anything like that. He is a mover and a shaker. I kept thinking about what to do for dinner. I didn't really have anything frozen ready to defrost and we were out of leftovers. I knew if I tried to cook something James would scream for not being held.
I just kept wondering over and over, "What am I going to do for dinner?" It wasn't even a prayer in my heart, just a thought in my head. Then my door rang and it was my friend delivering my Pampered Chef order. She also had a container of soup for us. She said, she just thought we might need some soup.
We did need soup, we needed it badly. Dinner problem solved.
I'm really thankful for a friend who listened to the still small voice and answered my un-uttered prayer. I'm also thankful that Heavenly Father is looking out for me, even when I'm being a heathen and not specifically asking for help. The soup really saved our day.
It's a week later, and I am still feeling touched by this. I'm just really thankful to Julia and glad she is my friend.

Mitzvah Request
Busy, busy here in the Atomic city. Cousin Kirt will be here within the hour. We seem to be the jumping off place for wayward boys headed east....
But on to serious things. If you are interested in doing a mitzvah, my friend JoDee Schramm, was in a horrible car accident on Saturday. She was helping push another car out of some ice, when a third car hit her. She has several shattered/broken ribs, punctured lungs and some serious internal bleeding.
JoDee and her family moved from our ward last year, but they are still very dear to all of us here. So, if you could remember her and her family in your prayers, and if you are near an LDS temple, please put her name on the prayer list, (or if there is a prayer list at your church) that would be great.

Halloween from Grandma
Grandma sent Sweet Baby James some Halloween stuff. Observe:
Hmmmm, what is this? A card. What do you do with a card?
You EAT IT, of course
