They took pictures of everyone in Dean’s department at BYU the other day — here are a couple I liked (they sent him thumbnails to choose his favorites from an array — he’s supposed to choose one with his jacket on and one with it off. I’m not sure how long these’ll stay on their [...]
All right, so: it’ s winter and I’m often cooped up in the house with sick kids, I have some minor but chronic health concerns that sap my energy, I’ve got 4 young kids so keeping my house in order is a constant losing battle, I hope to have more kids which means the [...]
Me [dropping my salad fork]: “This is stuffing mix! These aren’t croutons.”
Dean: “That’s all we had. The kids are happy. You could have read the box.”
