• We attended our new ward last week.  It was really hard.  It’s much smaller and doesn’t have the same dynamic feel.  We both feel as though we were put in our last ward to get trained.  If you want to see how a ward is supposed to function then go to the Elkhorn Springs 1st ward in Las Vegas.  Again, we are going to be in a ward where we are “needed”.  It seems that it has been shrinking and doesn’t see new life very often.  Coincidence:  A neighbor family from Brian’s days in Farmington is in the new ward.  We didn’t get a chance to talk to them but will make efforts next week. 

  The house is looking fantastic.  I must say our floor choice is AWESOME.  Tucker is finishing it up today.  Brian hired a guy to help with the finish work and he promises baseboards in by tomorrow.  I am so aggravated by some of the workers though.  Total inconsideration.  The guys that came in and trimmed the doors cut them right in the hallway…sawdust flying all over the new carpet…and then didn’t even brush them off before hanging them.  There are piles of sawdust all over finished areas.  An outside entrance was only a few feet away, the weather is nice out…I just don’t get it.  Actually I do…obviously they have never had to clean anything in their life.  I am only waiting on the painters to come in and do their finish work before I start a construction clean.  I expect that to be loads of fun. 

  Weston is officially officially crawling.  He is the proverbial baby vacuum and every tiny thing on the floor goes into his mouth.  We are struggling with the girls to keep the little things..like barbie shoes…picked up so we don’t get a choking baby.   He crawled behind his swing yesterday and pulled himself to a standing position on the bar.  He is 8 months today.  I have a bad feeling about his walking age.  Don’t judge me if you see me pushing him down.
