Lando:
Had lots of call this week. He and 5 other doctors saved a patients life last night. He fell off a 60 foot cliff snowboarding. Sometimes his life is such a stark difference from mine. He got lots of runs. He ran his last 2 miles with Jaxson on Saturday morning and they both loved that. He took me on a date to get Tacos on Thursday. He came to church after only having 2-3 hours of sleep on Saturday and I just told the boys on the way, "One day you'll understand, that you're so lucky to have a dad who comes to church in these moments." He's on lots of phone calls with lots of practices trying to find the right job for us long term. Part of me hates that we are starting this process again, and the other part of me is so grateful for his intentional proactive actions. (He would call it his impatience, but he's done that himself. #fellowhship).
Becs:
I'm just really happy right now. I don't know why. I feel like i'm in a lull of big decisions, and in a calm before big changes and i'm just trying to enjoy it. I love the people in my ward and I hate that I am getting closer and closer to people. Why? Why now? I'm leaving in 6 months. I am grateful and loving every second with my cute healthy funny boys. I love any second I get with Landon and I'm extremely grateful for him any moment he isn't around but working so hard. Lots of blessings. Lots of blessings. Oh and i've had the same lunch every day for 2 weeks, thanks to Maddie. I think we'll call it the Maddie's Parfait for the rest of my life. Landon loves it too, so we are solid. Speaking of Maddie, I also checked out a bunch of books from the Library to honor and learn about Black History month. And Wilma's story and Henry Box Brown story. People's lives. I have had such privilege. Other than that, my down time has been spent either trying to understand Politics and Isaiah. Lots of questions, lots of learning, lots of head scratching, lots of fear, and also, hope.
Jax:
He finished his basketball season. It was the only game they lost, and they were destroyed. Every player on the other team was as good as Jax, and Jax is the best player on our team. You do the math. Jax cried. It was hard. We praised his effort and his passion and desire. We didn't care that he lost, just that he worked his guts out. I let him play 3 quarters, but I'm the coach and I just didn't care about favoritism. If you want your son to play 3 quarters, you coach.
Ty:
The boys having been watching Boise Boys, which is a house building show, and Lego master, which is a LEGO building show. And I love it. I've never seen a moment in Ty's life where he isn't building or creating or thinking about building or creating. And these shows just channel that in such a realistic way. Ty got to play with Hal on Friday and she's his favorite. He also asked me if we could start praying for us to have a baby girl. And then he said, "Actually, I don't care, just another baby." And he's been praying ever since.
Luke:
He is entering into that sweet spot of toddlerhood. Understands enough to not scream every moment, not understand enough to push boundaries. And thats why all the pictures this week are of him. Because he is so dang cute. He roars and makes animal sounds all the day long. He loves balls. He falls asleep in the car on the way home from dropping Ty off at school, but he transfers, and I love that about him. He is feisty and won't be pushed around by his brothers. You keep that up Luke. They may be older and bigger, but you are just as capable and awesome as them. He is happiest outside of the house. Which is why we try to be gone every day from 10-12 and from 3-5. Thank you Library and children's museum in these cold days. I'm excited for spring!
