Follow the (Ward Mission) Leader

Today at Chruch, Doug was call, sustained and set apart as our Ward Mission Leader. Admittedly, this was not unexpected since we've been Ward Missionaries for over a year now and our former WML is moving out of our ward at the end of the month. Doug is excited, worried, nervous and prepared for his new calling. I'm still a ward Missionary, and we're the only two right now, but hopefully we'll get more called soon. I know he's going to do a wonderful job!

Its time...

...to put a gate at the bottom of the stairs! I left Sariah downstairs to grab my purse and shopping list and my phone rang, so I was talking to my mom. I keep hearing Sariah noises, and I peak down the stairs (we've got a split level house, so the stairs curve at the landing to the front door) and I don't see her, so I figure she's downstairs and okay. Moments later I'm greeted by Sariah! She climbed all the way up the stairs! Ackk!

Doug turns a Quarter of a Century!

"Hey Mommy.... what's going on?"


" It's Daddy's Birthday!"

Doug turned 25 years old on Sunday. It was a really nice day. I let him sleep in and then he opened presents. After church we had a dinner of Noodles Romanoff, a childhood favorite of his. I also made a Triple Chocolate Ice Cream cake....
I'm very proud of this cake, its two layers of Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake with a middle layer of chocolate ice cream and topped w/ Triple Chocolate Fudge Chunk Frosting. Totally Healthy... *wink*. If you look closely you can see where I wrote "Happy Birthday Doug" in the frosting.
