Hyrum Passes the Sacrament

A rare FHE at the Hales house.  NCAA football championship.  Sariah wandered through every once in awhile.  Alabama won.

We finally got a letter from Talmage this week.  James got him a blue tooth keyboard and now he can type a letter on something besides his phone.

James cleaned out the basement shower.  Yuck!  With only one girl showering in the basement there's not a lot of blaming that can go on.  Thanks Dad.

Reading aloud in reading group on Tuesday we found a significant change in the text about Thomas Jeffereson.  The top book I bought a year ago.  The bottom book was one that a student purchased recently.  The war on our Founding Fathers trickling down to the children.  One more evidence in my thoughts about long-term education change.

Hyrum prepared and prepped and taught our art class this week.  Paracord arm bands were a hit. 



Wednesday morning at about 2am the wind woke James and I.  We eventually got up and went to take a look around outside.  (I looked through the windows.)  James gathered the dumpster and buckets that had been blown around.  This is what I found in the canal on my run Wednesday morning--Olsen's poor trampoline.

Loved to see this smile.  God sent snow to lift the spirits of our boy.

The amaryllis we have been watching for a few weeks did not disappoint.  It's the first one I've done but it will not be the last.  Amazing.  As I look at it I am reminded that God's work moves on simply, quietly, and gloriously regardless of current events.

Stretched my canvases from China yesterday and James mounted them in the classroom.  We have our open house this week.

And last, but DEFINITELY not least, Hyrum passed the sacrament for the first time during our home sacrament meeting today.  He's going to be taller than both of us before we know it.  A handsome, young man for sure.

We also were able to zoom in on Camilla Cave's homecoming talk today.  That is one of the great things that has come out of COVID, we've never been able to attend all the special events of family in Utah.
