I forgot to mention in the last post that Jared and I were blessed last night to take a trip to the Provo Temple for an endowment session, courtesy of a great lady here in our ward, Debbie Sackett. She stopped Jared in the hallway on Sunday and volunteered to watch the kids for us so that we could make it to the temple. How wonderful was that? The last thing that we heard as we headed out the door was a question from Kimball to Sister Sackett:
"So, Sister Sackett .... how good of a puzzle solver are you?"
Jared and I took off around three, made it to the temple for the 5:00 p.m. session, then ran a few errands (like buying a case of baby wipes), and met up with Jana for dinner at the Olive Garden that night. She had just been to the temple too, so it was great to have a chance to see her for a couple hours. We made it home late Friday night and found all well and some very entertaining stories of the night's events. Kimball introduced Debbie and her husband to "Himalaya" icecream servings, and Koria instructing her on how to best get Luke to sleep, among other things. What a brave woman. She said she'd be more than happy to do it again. Wow. Double amazing. We owe her a great deal of thanks.
When we met up with Jana at a store before dinner, we came across this stunning set of Star Wars underwear for Kimball. When we gave them to him this morning, you would have thought that we gave him the world! It's the little things, isn't it? He's pretty excited that it's a bathnight tonight. Now, which one should he pick to wear first?
What a great lady. I am glad you got a night out and got to go to the temple. it sounds like the Sacketts probably had a great time with your kids too. I should be more aware of those who need my help.
ReplyDeleteThat was so great off the Sacketts to give you a break. Yes, your kids are growing fast.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a little time together alone.
