In Memory of A Spiritual Hero


Well, my heart is full today.
President Hinckley died last night at +\- 7:00 pm at his apartment with friends and family. He truly was a prophet of God and his legacy will continue to influence us all through the millennium. He was one of my greatest heroes whose constant encouragement to keep the commandments fortified my soul. What a great example. He was busy doing the Lord’s work until he died. Just a few weeks before, he dedicated the capitol building after its extensive renovation and seismic upgrade. Just as engineers could lift up and strengthen the building against the elements, so President Hinckley has strengthened the Church against the tempests and tremors of the world if we will but heed his teachings. And now we move forward, I believe he would be frustrated to see us morn his physical death, for he is now more alive than he has ever been. What a great reception he must have had into the spirit world and the arms of the Father and The Son.

Yes, Marthe Made It.

Luckily it took less than 3 years to crank this sweater out.

Marthe learned knitting by making a pair of socks for herself. . . It took 3 years. . . and they are almost done.

But in the meantime, she tested he knit whit skills by making this nice . . uh. . sweater for Sadie.

You can have one too for the small price of . . . a long wait.

It is amazing how much fun you can have with a pair of cheap googly eyes.

A New Year. . . How About A New Post

It's fun to have in-laws, even if they are a bit crazy.
We had a fun time together during the holidays.
May and JJ are visiting from Malaysia for a few more days.
I think they had a lot of fun here.
They've been here since October and will be going back next week.
Yes. . . He has a lot of energy.
But they're all so cute.
