Jim

November 12 and 13, 2011

This weekend went by quickly.  It is so nice to be home but we are both realizing how tired we are.  The kids have been so happy to have us home that they have been crazy!  I am hoping getting back to school and adjusting to having us back will help them mellow a little.  Jim is getting around the house well and is trying to be very independent.  We went to Stake Conference and it wore him out.  It was very difficult for him to sit that long (but he was more reverent than the kids, even with his wiggles).  Conference was very good.  One of the talks really hit close to our hearts.  Elder Russell M. Nielson talked about the heart and about being grateful for each part of our body.  He talked about how we recognize more when a part does not function well for some reason. He told us to take time to pray and thank Heavenly Father for each part of our body from our head to our toes. 
Jim was worn out when we got home and slept most of the afternoon.  He had a few visitors in the evening.  Alan Jones, Greg Schmidt, and his brother Spencer all came to visit.
