In Memorandum

This last Friday the 19th, Lucille - David's grandmother on his father's side passed from mortality to the world of Spirits to await a resurrection. The funeral will be this week, we now are preparing for the family to come and pay their respects.

Something's wrong here...

... we did it right. Halfway through the next stage of the next room in the basement and we went ten hours without a problem. Is this odd to anyone else? Is there something wrong with this situation? Maybe Murphy was asleep, or maybe he's just planning something brutal.

Back! Back to the dungeon!

Ahhh, fall break, three days off to sit back, relax, and... oh wait, never mind. Reports took up the entire day Thursday, and Friday and Saturday are the beginning of Dungeon worship - er, I mean workshop. We'll see if we can't get the play room framed and wired. Yippie, or not.

Dinosaur

The creativity of #2 is increasing. This morning as he ate the breakfast of champions, poptarts, he looked at his food and then began to take calculated bites. Eventually he held up the tart and said, "Look! Dinosaur!" He had bitten the tart until it had legs, a back, and a head. Adventurous. Also this week, Melissa made the unfortunate decision that she wanted another room in the basement finished instead of the 50 inch plasma tv for her birthday, much to the disappointment of husband and friends everywhere. Oh well, back to the basement.

Everything's funnier at 2 am

This last weekend was the whirlwind 40 hour "vacation" to Arizona for a wedding in Mesa. 26 total hours on the road, David taking 22 of those thankfully, allowing Melissa and the children to be rested enough to attend all three hours of church on Sunday and not just Sacrament meeting. He had help though. Melissa's sister joined the fun for the ride home and conversed with the drivers through the night. Miraclously there were no near accidents or anything, and the car got sufficient gas milage that we did not have to fill up on Sunday. We're blessed. On the way home, at about 2 am, #1 decided she really needed to go. Unfortunely, there were no bathroom options. After trying the side of the road adventure, her bladder froze, and did not thaw until later. This provided multiple jokes and laughs, and we can't even remember why!

Oh come on!

The television show Melissa likes had it's season finale this last week. After just six episodes. Lame. The show is "Psyc" on USA, it is a comedy that cracks her up. Oh well, anyone know any decent TV shows?

*Sigh* ness

We've been a little under the weather lately, a sinus infection and quite a few things on the plate with business, work, school, and such. Nothing exciting to report, which we consider a good thing!

Blessed

# 3 got blessed at church this weekend. Family from Idaho, California, Utah, and Colorado came to join in the fun. In addition to that, David provided a passover experience for some friends and family which went very well. Melissa and Heather made lip balm and lip wax for fun. Gary won a game of seafarers of caton. On Monday, David and his bro went golfing. David drove the ball incredibly well, with four drives in excess of 350 yards (laser measured!) Overall a very enjoyable weekend.
