Unwilling Early Bird

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

. . . waking up at 5:30am because my sleeping daughter bumped the nursery monitor and disconnected it. I went in and reconnected it, then couldn't fall back asleep. Sigh.

. . . hearing a loud crash as Daniel pulled Red Grandma's ceramic chip bowl to the floor. It shattered into a hundred pieces.

Today's favorite moments included . . .


. . . having a pleasant, one-on-one conversation with my early-riser father this morning. I wasn't thrilled to be awake and sleep-deprived so early, but it was nice to have a quiet chat with my dad.

. . . playing on the boat with Papa and company. Even little Daniel liked having his legs dipped in the cool lake water.

. . . watching a documentary on Orrin Porter Rockwell, an early Latter-day Saint who was deeply devoted to the Gospel but also had a wild reputation as a frontier lawman and saloon owner (in the early days of the Church, the Word of Wisdom was just a suggestion). The film was informative and entertaining, but ironically only the females in the family watched the whole thing. Dad, Rob, and Sean all slept through most of it.
