"God doesn't give children with special needs to strong people; He gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them strength. Raising a child with special needs doesn't take a special family, it makes a special family."--Author Unknown

Weekend Adventures

This weekend we tried to keep ourselves busy and active hoping to induce the elusive labor. We weren't successful in that venture, but we did have fun. Friday morning Josh went to a birthday party of a little girl in the neighborhood. Judging by the goody bag he got to bring home he seemed to have fun. We also tried some geocaching, but we have lost our touch and weren't too successful in finding any of the 'treasures' we searched for. We even looked for our own caches, but they have been muggled. We will have to replace them when we get some more time.

Saturday we ran a few errands and then took the kids to the Gateway fountains in Salt Lake. They were pretty hesitant at first, but after a bribe or two they were more than happy to get wet. Matthew found a light in the ground and stepped on it thinking by doing that he was turning on the the fountains. It got him pretty excited. Daniel had fun until he looked straight into a fountain as it was turning on and got squirted pretty good in the eyes. He was not so interested in playing after that. Josh played until he was totally soaking wet.

It has been a while since we have had an embarrassing moment at church so Matthew made sure he would make up for it. During sacrament meeting, which was quite BORING, the first speaker seemed to droan on and on. That's when Matthew asked Aaron in his outside voice, "IS HE DONE TALKING, YET?" I know all of us were thinking it, but no one dared say it :). I did get released from Young Women today. I am kind of sad, but they need someone to fill in for me while I take my 'maternity leave' from church.
