Stayin' Alive with 5!


  1. I finally took Halloween down and put up Thanksgiving.  I don't have a lot of Thanksgiving/autumn decorations so the house looks almost empty with all of the Halloween stuff put away.  It feels good to be a little less cluttered.
  2. A great family home evening with my kids.  Piper was in a grumpy mood at the start but it turned out well and we had some great discussion about the sacrament and the gift of the Holy Ghost.
  3. Good books.  I'm currently reading a classic Anne of Green Gables book, but one that I've never read before.  Good literature feeds the soul.
  4. I volunteer at Piper's school for half an hour on Monday mornings.  Today I went in a little early, before the kids were in the class.  Piper's teacher chose to tell me how great she's doing.  She's making huge strides in her reading and things have just clicked for her.  She understands and retains what she reads.  Her teacher said that she's a natural-born storyteller too.  Nice to hear that others recognize her growth and progress.  Piper has really adjusted well to school life.  For that, I am grateful.
  5. Still looking fairly small for being 21/22 weeks pregnant.  I lost 11 pounds in my first trimester which was not fun to experience but I needed to lose some weight to begin with.  That gives me more room to grow.
