Family

So Michael's mom gave us some family names to take to the temple to do the baptisms for. We wanted to go with Zach, Michael's brother. We had the names for a little less than a year. It was hard to remember to talk to each other and plan a time to go. I started to feel so guilty about having those names for so long and having those ancestors just waiting for us to do the work. It didn't help with the guilt trip by hearing talks like this one from Elder Scott in General Conference: The Joy of Redeeming the Dead. But finally we went and got the baptisms done. Now we just have to do the other ordinances.

 Here Michael, Zach, Erin, and David are moving Erin's and David's new couch up their stairs. As you can tell I'm taking a picture and not helping. Michael is the one in orange. Zach is the other person you can see. David is on the other side of the couch. And Erin somehow ended underneath the couch.

So I got these nice soup mugs for Christmas and had a need to make French Onion Soup in them. I made it with Gruyere cheese. For me, one bit of Gruyere cheese was really good, The more I had though I wasn't loving it.
