Today Jared left for another trip- he'll be home for about 16 hours Friday night to Saturday morning, then he's gone again. And, while I was feeling a bit sorry for myself [migraine headache + 3 noisy kids = terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day], I ran across a blog link on a site I surf for design ideas. Last week, this woman and her husband were in Italy celebrating their 10th anniversary. They have 3 kids, who stayed w/grandparents for the trip. Yesterday, she died. I guess there were complications with her cancer treatment. And I felt rather small for resenting, even a little bit, that my husband was sitting peacefully [my own interpretation, I know] in an airplane while I was wishing for a bit of truly quiet time. I know he'd rather be here. It's easy to believe that the grass is greener on his side of the fence, sometimes.
But we did have some good things happen today. While we were sitting in church, Hyrum pressed 2 of his fingers lightly against his ear, then turned to me and said, "Mom, I have to go save the day. But not till after church." I did manage not to giggle, but I'm afraid I had a totally inappropriate smile on my face :)
And I got pictures of Myles on the couch. See, he's too short to crawl onto couches or chairs. But he's come up with a way around that:
Of course he's terribly proud of himself, and he should be! At 14 months, he's figured out how to change his world. Hard to believe that one short year ago, he couldn't even roll over.

I commend you for not bursting out in giggles following Hyrum's comment. And at least he had something to keep him occupied on his Sunday afternoon?
Kids say the darndest things in church, gotta love it!
Myles does look pretty proud of his new-found skill of getting up on the furniture...watch out world!
