Leslie came over with her kids today and she and Rachel made lasagna to eat for dinner tomorrow night. Afterward we packed the kids in the car and drove all over Orem and Salt Lake looking for a used piano. We didn’t find any that were either nice enough or in our limited budget. We going to try to look at one on Monday that we found on KSL classifieds that looks like a nice balance between nice and affordable. Gracie is 6 now and I would...

Rachel was asked by her sister to send some photos of us for a project she is working on. It was fun looking through photos all night long and reminiscing. I can’t believe we have been married 9 1/2 years! It’s been a fun trip and I look forward to the next 10.

There is a guy that we often see as we get near our building in the mornings or as we drive somewhere during lunch or head home for the night. He is in a wheelchair. What is unusual though is that he always seems to be carrying a plastic bag with something in it and pushing the chair backwards with one leg. Every time I see him I feel bad and it always puts things into perspective on how good life...

Tonight we were watching the County Music Awards. Gracie and Gehrig were really getting into it. The next thing we know Gehrig had dressed up for the part!

I worked from home again today. Rachel has been pretty sick with the flu. She had a doctor appointment this morning. I spent the day working on my laptop and trying to keep the boys in line. I was actually surprised at how much I got done. I suppose that while I was distracted often, I get distracted at work as well, so it’s not completely...

Rachel has been sick today. She called pretty upset because she got a fever and couldn’t handle the boys. So Mike & I left work about an hour and a half early. The kids made a ruckus around the house so I tried to do a quick cleanup. I got permission to work from home tomorrow to help out as Rachel has a Dr. appointment. It really is hard work to take care of young kids. It is much easier to go to work and sit and program all...

I got onto the computer to write in my journal but I got a bit distracted by checking out the new family search site. I really want to do temple work for some of my ancestors, but I can’t find any to do. Every time I think I found something I find a duplicate record that once combined shows there work done. I’ve spent the past 45 minutes looking. At least I have improved the records if nothing...
