Don't Forget Your Shoes

This afternoon I was sitting on the couch playing with my little man, and the next thing I knew I was deep in my own sleeping world. I had a dream. I drempt I was standing up at a church after a wedding. I had my dress on, but no shoes. That was fine with me...afterall...I was comfortable! Then as people were filing out, I got real dizzy and passed out. I fell forward over the pew in front of us, then onto the floor. In my dream I was completely unconscious, however, I was very aware of everything that was going on around me. People started gathering around me to help me, and I was just embarrassed because I didn't have any shoes on. (Who cares that I had a dress on...and I had tumbles twice to get to the floor!) Finally someone put a damp cloth on my face, and I came to...and I woke up. I learned a lesson...not that I've ever struggled with this issue...but certainly it reinforced something for me...next time I go to a wedding I'll double check to make sure I wear my shoes.

A Herd of Henrys

Every morning our little man likes to find snails in our yard. He has fun playing with them...carrying them from one location to another. He calls them his pets. This morning he found a few snails, and with just a little coaxing and a big smile got me to help him transport the critters to a little park next to our house. Then we sat and watched his little snails play at the park doing what snails do best...move slowly and leave a trail of slime.
Here we have the little man posing with 2 of his friends... (both of them were named "Henry".)
...He was having way too much fun to stop at 2, and we ended up with a whole ....um....flock?...herd?... I'm not sure...what do you call a group of snails?

This picture made me laugh...this is Elder Somebody, and our ambitious, courageous, valiant, daring...and quite funny Elder Lane.

Yesterday...

Yesterday Wendy and I went bike riding. I had the time of my life! I felt like a young school girl who just got out of school early to go play... It's been way too long since I've done something like that. Initially as we drove away I felt a twinge of guilt, but as we cycled down the coast that twinge quickly went away. There's nothing quite like biking on the beach on a beautiful fourth of July.
