Special Day

Yesterday we went to a company picnic with great food. Then we got lost on a walk and found ourselves. We seem to do that a lot lately. We had a Hausfest too. Lots of good German practice.

Today was Sunday. Sunday is a special day. It is not Saturday which Chad reminds me is also a special day. On Sunday Chad and I do a lot of nothing after we get home from church where we usually do something.

Today was special because I got to do a fabulous science experiment with the kids in primary. I do not think any of them have ever seen where you make a volcano out of vinegar and food coloring and baking soda. I scored some big points today. I was more pleased with the explosive results than anyone else.

Today was also a special day because Dani Schwendener and I sang a duet, Be Still My Soul, in sacrament meeting. She is an awesome accompanist. She follows so easily and plays so beautifully. She is also a very worthy singing partner. It was great to sing with someone. Chad is so supportive. He watched us practice before church and gave some really great suggestions. Plus he just oozes pride when he watches me which I frankly love. Elisa was more nervous today than I had ever seen her for singing. Her voice is so clear too. It is great with that song.

Today was a special day because we played games and I didn’t get upset when I lost. (Miraculous!) We took a nap and did other nothing-like things. Finally, today was a special day because I ate breakfast for dinner. We made French toast and homemade buttermilk syrup. Yum.

PS. I have only 3 1/2 weeks until my due date. That is totally weird.

Man! It has got to be hard to sing in church being SO PREGNANT !

Use your diaphragm….Right?! Where did it go! They are all smashed up there somewhere.

Good Job for even trying and I am so glad to hear you are singing.

I have decided that my pregnancy is some sort of freak-of-nature. Besides being so excessively sick the first few months things have completely turned around. I really cannot complain of anything. I am comfortable, sleeping well, and able to do a lot of things that I supposedly shouldn’t be able to do by now. I am really really blessed!!!
