Today I am thankful for evenings with no outside activities. This usually falls on Thursdays for us. Mondays have choir practice and gym classes. Tuesday's sometimes can be free but often Richard will have a meeting or we will have someone over or this week we went shopping in Auburn. Wednesdays are church for Richard and dinner with the missionaries and our Korean friends. So by Thursday we all look forward to a night to ourselves. And we take advantage of this by having a sit-down dinner(which we have most nights) followed by Family Home Evening-a night where we have a lesson on a gospel topic, sing songs, have a treat/activity and share our testimonies. Fia and Nate are at the age where they are starting to "get" the lessons. They are beginning to understand the concepts that we have tried to teach them all these years. That is cool since a lot of gospel principles are really understood as we live them. Lately our activity has been watching recordings of America's Funny Home Videos together. Good, clean, television. (i remember when this show first came out. my dad wrote the show a letter saying how distasteful it was to make fun of people getting hit in the groin...guess that was all the videos that were being sent in. my dad was always writing a letter to someone complaining about something!)
So tonight I am thankful I got to spend the evening with
"Dad"
this is what i call him too...is that weird?
the "excited" child
the "happy"child

Calling Richard "Dad" just shows that you are getting to be an old married couple!
we have been calling each other Mom and Dad ever since Fia and Nate started calling us that!
