This picture has nothing to do with anything. I just love that hat! It is too big thus far, but it has cute little sailboats on it and I am excited for Chase to wear it this summer. Well, I got a calling in our ward on Sunday. Tim and I were hoping to get called to teach primary again, partly because we love teaching the little kids, and partly because we love spending all 3 hours together! It wasn't to be, and they called me to be Nursery Coordinator. My co-coordinator, Britney, is really fun and I am learning a lot from her. We have 5 nurseries so it is a ton of kids, but so far I really enjoy it. We pretty much make supplements for the teachers, make sure no sick kids come to nursery, take roll, get instructions from parents, deal with crying kids, take messy kids to their parents, bring snacks, find substitutes, clorox the toys, and make sure the teachers aren't beating any of the kids up. We also do singing time with each class, which is way fun. The kids all have little pieces of carpet they get to sit on, and they pick a "beam" off of a poster of the sun that has 10 songs on it that they learn. The bishop assigned Tim to baby duty on Sundays, and I have found that I really miss Chase when he's away for a couple hours. Otherwise, so far I am really enjoying this new calling, and am grateful to feel purposeful at church. Since practically everyone in our ward has a child in nursery (literally), I also get to meet all the parents and siblings, so that has been nice. I am working on learning all these kids names, which is pretty difficult when there are so many kids.
Other updates on our lives, we took Chase back to the pediatrician and he is gaining weight well so they are leaving him on his GERD medicine. We got a virus in our fishtank and lost some of our best friends :( Tim sold off this huge amp that has been taking up half our office (thanks baby), and bought a new electric guitar which he loves. Chase adores listening to him play it. Tim is also finishing up the semester at BYU and has finals next week. I have one online class left to finish by August, and my graduation is next week. My family is coming in town from Colorado Springs and we are especially excited to play with Dan. We saw this house in Orem and the front lawn is COVERED in lawn gnomes (no joke, there are trinkets everywhere). So we are pretty excited to take Dan there. We enjoyed the beautiful weather here yesterday and were ecstatic to wear our flip flops. We also barbecued out on the deck for dinner and that was a lot of fun. That is about all for today.
