Adam came to my bed this morning to greet me with his happy smiling face. Apparently before he came to find me he found the drawer full of ties in his room, and he couldn’t decide on just one to wear….so he put on five.

Lopsided
Seth is starting to get a flat spot on one side of his head. He tends to lay in the bassinet with his head turned toward the room so he can see us when we are in there. I decided that maybe I should lay him in there the other way so he can round out the back of his head. 🙂
Fast Offering Collections
Turning twelve means Ethan is having a lot of firsts lately. Today he got to go out and help collect fast offerings for the first time. He went to meet with the other boys at the house of one of his leaders at 9 this morning. After awhile he was at our front door to collect our fast offering. Adam was excited to see Ethan at the door and growled to him in salutation. Then Ethan and his companions went on their way to finish their assigned route. Kyle and I weren’t too sure what to expect this first time sending him out. After awhile we were wondering if the boys had just gone to the church to turn in the donations and if we should just get going so we could meet Ethan there. Shortly after Kyle and I were considering this, Ethan walked in the door and it was time to load everybody up and head to the church. 🙂
Seth’s Six Weeks
Kyle worked from home today so that I could take Seth with me to my six week check up, without taking all of the kids. Everything looks good with me, and my midwife also checked Seth out. He’s up to 11 pounds! She was also very impressed that he was making eye contact with her and responding to her voice. 🙂
Merit Badges
Ethan earned a couple of merit badges at the Fall BYU pow wow a few months ago, but he hadn’t been awarded them yet because the blue cards hadn’t been turned in. After asking around and getting some confusing answers as to who to turn them in to, I got them turned in so they could be awarded at the court of honor tonight.
We went to the court of honor expecting Ethan to receive two merit badges. When they called him up there and started reading off the merit badges in the pile for him, he received SIX! I guess he earned three during his time with the 11 year olds group, and he moved up to the deacons group just in time to earn one with them.
Expecting two and coming home with six! I thought it was a nice surprise. 🙂
