Scattered Thoughts

1. The other day in the car, Enoch was telling Kate that he has a brother and a sister, but Kate only has brothers. Kate said, "That is okay. I am happy being the only sister." I'm sure she is.

2. Got Gavin new school shoes last night - size 13. Geesh!

3. Gavin finally got a Life (how many Scouts have used that joke?). Gavin was awarded his Life rank at the Court of Honor on Tuesday. He also earned his Scuba Diving, Communications, Pioneering and Wood Carving merit badges and his Snorkeling certification. Gavin also gave a presentation explaining the meaning and requirements of each rank. He did a great job! When he was finished he said, "I'm surprised you couldn't hear my heart beating way back here." He left for a backpacking trip to the Unitahs this morning. He is a great Scout.

4. Enoch is bored to tears, literally. Yesterday he collapsed, dramatically, in the family room and with tears in his eyes, said, "I am so bored!!!!!" We pulled out our castle Legos and that entertained him for a bit. He then picked bugs off our zucchini plant to pass the time. I know, lots of fun. But, he was fascinated by the orange blood on his hands from the bugs. He put the bugs in a baggie and threw them away. Raising an organic gardener is a lot of work!

We are so proud of Gavin! He now has a chance to demonstrate the maturity he has always had. Enoch has gifts of the Spirit that are unique in all the world. Kate knows exactly how blessed she is!
