Bearing in mind

So it seems that 3/4ths of the world/ward is pregnant...again. Didn't we just do this two years ago? Aren't our poor nursery workers deserving of a break? Isn't our sacrament meeting loud enough with the gajillion kids we already have?

The answer to all three questions is YES! And personally it's great. Babies are cute. And God did say to "multiply" and replenish the earth. Not just add but multiply. I'm just glad we're done with math. I'd have to buy a bigger van. We'd need a bigger kitchen table. I don't want to do diapers again...EVER! And the twins are finally big enough to get into serious trouble without any help from the older kids! Oh wait......

So Easter has been on my mind for about a month...when the twins got into the storage room and started hauling the plastic Easter eggs out in droves, gaggles and Dora backpacks. I now have a slew of half-eggs littering my house. I think the Easter bunny may be on vacation this year. Probably not. I'm starting to run out of Halloween and Christmas candy.

Easter this year will be special. Not that it isn't other years but my oldest daughter has the same unfortunate situation as my wife: on a regular basis, her birthday will be on a holiday. Although on a more regular basis, Adeena's birthday will be on General Conference weekend. As it is this year. She gets Easter, General Conference and her birthday all on the same day. She's excited. I'm glad because she'll hate it as adult.

And the week after Easter/GC/Adeena's b-day, I get to baptize Ethan. I know. I can't believe my #2 is 8 either. Scary. But the good news is that means he is going into scouts and that means Dad gets to get his power-tools on and make stuff...I'll let him touch the pinewood derby car once it's done. ;-) I'm just excited because I hope it will help him be a better person and I have a few good memories of being a scout. Just a few.

Till next time...
