Pirate Party and a Dedication

It was like the twelve days of Christmas at our house for the past couple of days. Emily got spoiled rotten. It was such a beautiful day today too. I made it through my preach and the youth service and Emily’s dedication and we just had a great time. I doubt there will be many weekends as packed and wonderful as this weekend. I feel like I’m all glowey inside.

I got home this afternoon and Emily and I both had 2 hr naps. Just a couple of very exhausted girls. After Em got up we went for a walk around town with Gamgee-doggie and with Emily in her new MEC backpack. It was so great. the other backpack we had borrowed wasn’t very good and Emily always shifted her weight around funny so this one is such a great change.

I’m currently enjoying some spinach dip and waiting for Emily to fall asleep and then I’m going to read and go to bed. I finished book 5 of my series last night so I’m kinda excited to start book 6. The series is called The Russians. Its cool because I studied Russia in history class, but this puts a good perspective on turn of the century Russia. Yesterday I heard on the news that there have been political protests in Russia and it made more sense to me than normal. It was cool until I found out uncle Greg got arrested just for being at one of the protests. Well ok I doubt he’s my uncle, but his last name is kasperov. cool huh. He is a world famous chess player. Oh good she fell asleep.
