Ethan gave his first talk in Sacrament meeting today. His topic was “the creation”. I have to admit that I’m rather surprised he actually went through with it. He has NEVER gone up to the front to participate in a primary program. Actually I might be wrong, he might have gone to the front that one primary program when Kyle and I were teachers and Kyle sat on the stand with our class while I sat in the audience with our little ones that were too young for primary. He did a good job on preparing his talk, but I could tell that he was not thrilled to be up there by the way that he mumbled his way through it. Lots of people complimented him on it, and others told me how much they enjoyed it, so it was received well at least. 🙂
Eight Weeks
Seth is eight weeks old today, and he was being totally interactive with Kyle this morning. Kyle quickly grabbed his phone and caught this gem:
Such a completely happy little boy! I just love that Kyle caught it. 🙂
Good Morning!
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. 🙂
