First weekly update
We've had a fun week...
We went to the new temple open house last night. The temple is beautiful and serene. We were able to bring our good friends, Hugo and Jeanette with us. Big guy and their son love to be together, and they had fun giggling in the car on the trip up to Folsom and back. Daddy and Hugo are certain that their sons will wind up lifetime friends like they are.
The weather last evening was perfect - it cooled off by the time the sun had set. Our tour began at 7:45 and it was so neat to see the beautiful colors of the sunset reflected in the clouds above the statue of Moroni.
I was able to work up at the temple site cleaning the week before last, and so I had been able to see the outside of the temple already, but I was anxious to get to see the interior. As I've heard about other temples, it was stunning. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. I could really understand why members of the church love to go the temple and surround themselves in such beauty.
Big Guy behaved pretty well on the tour - but he's getting so independent that he wants to walk everywhere, so there were a few difficult times when he started to throw fits, but overall, he was a very good boy. We are really blessed to have such an easy-going little guy.
Big Guy is saying three new words this week: stuck, necklace and hush-up (he hears me say this to Sadie all the time). We never know what he'll say next. It's a lot of fun for us to see him learn new things. Our baby is now a little boy!
Our unwelcome skunk guest showed up again in our backyard last night. Fortunately, Sadie has learned to stay nose-to-nose with the skunk instead of facing it's backside. After being sprayed twice, I think she's caught on. Daddy was able to throw a baseball at the skunk and chase it out of the yard, but we need to work on a permanent solution to keeping the skunk away. Even though I'm an animal lover, I have to admit that I can see no reason why skunks were created!
We have a fun weekend planned. I'll write about our weekend plans next week - you'll have to stay tuned! :)
