Winter Preparations

October 14, 2007

  • Lily started clapping,
  • Elsie began giving a taunting laugh, “ha haaah!,” rather than feeling bad when caught in mischief,
  • Timmy remembered to feed the fish all by himself when it was his turn,
  • Abby came home convinced that she was the smartest kid in her class because she was the only one who knew that people “wear wooden shoes in Holland,”
  • Kate held and comforted Lily for a long long time while Gina and I helped clean up after a ward pot luck,
  • Gina spearheaded the preparation of 21 bottles of pears and 28 bottles of applesauce, and
  • I watched our freshly raked yard refill with pine needles during a single night.

    This confirms my suspicion that Elsie is the most Gina-like of all your children.

    Sam, we all know that although Gina may have appeared as angelic as Elsie, the angelicness, in her case, went right down to the core.

    (Of course, if you think otherwise then specific stories would be welcome!)
