My Surgery and Thanksgiving

On November 17th, I had my menniscus (?spelling) operated on. Garrett went with me for the surgery, which went well, and then, he left me in the caring hands of my mom and dad, and took the boys to hang out with Garrent's mom and Darrell for a few days, leaving me better able to relax and recover.

On the way back home, they stopped at Brandon and Mandy's house and played with their cousins.

For Thanksgiving, we went to my mother's parent's home. This is me with my grandpa, sporting my new hairdo.

Quotable Quotes

Gabe's Sunbeam class combined with mine Sunday so I got to teach him how to pray. Monday, for Family Home Evening, he taught what he learned to his brothers. He told them that when you pray, you fold your arms, close your eyes, and "bend over." Then, he demonstrated by doing a bow that resembled the ones from The King and I....cute.
Our neighbor came over and was teaching Jonathan how to play basketball. "If you shoot from here, you get two points. If you shoot from here, you get three points. If you run with the ball, you're traveling." A little while later, I watched as Gabe and Jonathan walked around arm in arm, while the neighbor shot baskets. Jonathan explained, "He shoots the baskets, and we're the travelers."
I've been teaching the kids to follow last month's Friend article on studying the scriptures, so we start our scripture study with a prayer to help us "understand" the scriptures - which is a hard word for little boys. Today, Jonathan said, "Please help us 'stand' the scriptures!"
