I can’t even remember the last time I sent a family email, so I decided it was time.  Especially since Kathryn is still napping, and if she sees me at the computer she’ll come and take my hands off the keyboard so that she can use it.  She calls the computer “email”.  Its really quite cute.  She really likes Darryl’s “email”, which is his laptop.  Another of her favorite words is “up”, when she needs help climbing somewhere.  Kathryn really likes babies, but she calls any little kid (even if they are bigger than her) a baby, so its a little embarrassing when we’re at the store.  I try to tell her we are going to have a baby at our house but I don’t think she understands.  Until yesterday she pointed to my tummy and said “baby”.  I can’t help it, I think she’s a genius!
 
I survived the first Sunday of the year in Primary, bulletin boards included.  We had so many people at church yesterday.  All the kids that come only some of the time were there, plus the new Sunbeams.  I thought it was wonderful.  It is so much fun with those kids.  Especially now that Christmas is over and school is back in session.  They pay attention much better.  Our ward has Sacrament Meeting last this year.  I’m looking forward to that because I don’t have to worry about primary during it, or rush off afterwards.  I can actually talk to people at church!
 
Congratulations to Julia on her baptism.  I was thinking about it all weekend.  I love going to the baptisms of the kids in primary.  Baptisms are always very special.
 
Darryl is about to start busy season and I am trying to brace myself.  It has been so nice for him to leave for work a little later the past few weeks.  But the hardest thing will be him not coming home for dinner.  But I think I will get some scrapbooking done in the evenings when he works.
 
On Saturday we went to an exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls that is here in Seattle.  We enjoyed it very much.  I was so impressed with how they can put together 100,000 little fragments of something into pages.  They had examples of how hard that would be, trying to put together puzzles of different documents we are familiar with.  Included in the exhibit were some copper plates.  Darryl thought that was very interesting since in the past the Book of Mormon was criticized because no one had every written on metal plates.  But now we see that people did the same thing on some copper plates.
 
We continue to have a “harsh” winter.  This I say for myself, while Darryl is probably laughing.  But the snow and windstorms and lots of rain.  It is colder than usual to me, and this week they said more freezing temperatures.  I can’t say that I like it.  And spring is no where in sight.
