Jonah and SWEET-ish FISH!


Before the giveaway . . .

I want to tell Jonah how thankful I am to have him as a son. A friend of his had his bike stolen at Christmas time. A few weeks ago, Jonah thought he saw the bike a few neighborhoods away.

Turns out, he was right: the friend's bike was really at this home.

And so yesterday Jonah called the police, met them near the bike and explained the situation. About 30 minutes later, the police met with homeowners to discuss the matter . . .

and bring the bike home!

Is that amazing? (I'll answer: yes.)

Jonah, I love you.

And now, the giveaway.

In honor LuLu's favorite candy, "SWEET-ish" FISH, we're giving away

one COSTCO-sized package of Swedish Fish!

(PS: Dave writes the surveys for me and I think today's is hilarious. You have to understand that I have major anxiety about aking a vacation and tleaving our kids with other people (6 is a lot!). So, I'm always stressing on the idea of a couple's vacation. When I read the survey today I realized Dave's thinking of me when he says, "if you were forced to take a vacation." Is that so funny? The use of the word forced. It sounds so guerilla. He's so right though--it does take force to pull me away from my anxieties.)

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
