Nolan is now talking and very clearly putting sentences together. He has actually turned into quite the jabber-box. Recently I have been teaching him to say his prayers before getting into bed. Tonight the prayers went something like this: Daddy: I’m thankful for Gracie Nolan: Gracie. Daddy: I’m thankful for Gehrig Nolan: Gehrig Daddy: I’m thankful for President Monson Nolan: Monster… Monster? … MONSTER!?! He...

I got approval to work from home today. It was nice. I took Gehrig and his friend Tanner to school. The teacher said that she felt Gehrig really appreciated that. His friend’s dad picked them up the other day and I thin Gehrig was jealous because he said that I was going to pick him up. I also got to play Ultimate with the group in American Fork.

I can’t wait to see it! I was just thinking, it’s too bad they didn’t call it “Inzolo”. That would have sent a lot of free traffic to my site!...

We had a good day at church today. All the kids went to their classes and I got to go to mine. It was daylight savings time so we had an extra hour to sleep in, plus, being fast sunday, I didn’t have to go in so early for meetings. It was a pretty uneventful sabbath day – pretty much a day of...
