Underfoot's Baptism

Underfoot made a choice to be baptized this last weekend as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

We were honored with the family and friends that supported him in his choice. Thanks to the family who came from far away to join us.

Underfoot said he felt happy. He smiled big smiles and gave Sweetheart a huge hug after he was baptized.

The carpet was replaced this week. We emptied all the bedrooms for the second time in 6 months. We find ourselves wandering off the tile to the new floor.

 It feels luxurious on our feet. Sweetheart pushed hard to finish the edges where the tile would go.

After deciding on a pocket door, we reversed the decision and returned the door. We want to be done with large scale projects for a while.

The goal this week is to finish the last few areas of tile and enjoy.

Every 4 years the boys get a birthday party. Underfoot got his party this week. We did a padawan training center.

Each future Jedi made their own light saber (pipe insulation wrap and duct tape), did training games (a.k.a. Cub Scout achievement #1), used the force (kept a balloon in the air), and destroyed a droid (beat up a piñata). Instead of cake, we had root beer floats. Very little refreshment was thrown away.

There was a small accident in the car.

The can of paint opened. The people at Lowe's were nice and gave me paper towels to clean out the car. Lowe's changed their brand of paint so all the paint had to be color matched. It was really unfortunate because I had most the bathroom painted and had to repaint the bathroom.

Hurricane struggled this week because not all the attention was on him.

A wise friend said to begin the discussion that being happy for others in others moments of happiness so that hurt feelings don't take over.

We are grateful for cousins and Aunt Mimi who took care of him during the birthday party.

Be Well.
