Scattered Thoughts

1.  Gavin was ordained a Teacher in the Aaronic Priesthood on Sunday.  It was a great day.  Grandma and Grandpa Fowler came to his ordination.  Greg gave him a wonderful blessing.  He reminded Gavin he was a mountain of faith and that his faith would continue to grow.  That he would have the desire and knowledge to move closer to his goals of serving a mission and getting married in the Temple.  That he would continue to be a good example to his friends, family and all those around him.  And that he would serve faithfully in his Priesthood assignments.  It was very powerful.  Our family is so blessed to have two worthy Priesthood holders in our home.

2.  On our way to Grandma and Grandpa's home on Sunday, Enoch said, "Wouldn't it be funny if after I died someone wrapped me all up in duct tape except a small slit and then pumped me up with helium.  Then I would float!"  Hmmm...wouldn't that be funny? 

3.  Coal is in love with tennis balls.  You throw a ball in her direction and she will catch it without a single bounce.  Although she gets a bit confused when you throw two balls, she can't figure out how to get both in her mouth.  We are now working on her dropping the ball at our feet.  She wants to play catch, but she doesn't want to give up her ball.

4.  I'm still pregnant.  I have tried so many things to get labor going, but this baby has made himself comfortable and isn't budging.  I go for multiple walks a day, which has only succeeded in making me hurt more.  I even tried eating spicy food tonight (which I don't like at all).  Didn't do a thing except give me such bad heartburn that it made my eyes water.  I did enjoy Enoch's fortune cookie message:  You discover treasures where others see nothing unusual. 
Well, maybe something will happen tonight. 
Maybe.

We are so proud of Gavin! You can't find a better young man anywhere! We're proud of Enoch, too, because he has great ideas--someday we're going to be famous because we know Enoch! Coal and Bottsy are "kindred spirits." Try to improve on Bottsy--teach Coal to bring them back. Baby, oh baby, you must really be worth waiting for!

Carrie said you are getting an induction tomorrow if all else fails... That should mean you go into labor tonight, right? :-) I know so many people who go into labor the night before an induction. Maybe the kid will get the hint that you are serious about the eviction notice! heehee Can't wait to see your new little dude...
