Cool Children's Book
John, Paul, George & Ben, by Lane Smith. Little vignettes of the childhoods of some of our Founding Fathers, my favorite being Paul Revere, I think. Deafened by his time spent in belfries ("Before fun was invented, people joined bell-ringing clubs"), he ends up shouting all the orders at the shop he worked in. "THE PINK BREECHES ARE COMING!" Ben's favorite is John Hancock. I also liked Independent Tom (I've known a few of those...). Very cute, very funny, and it clears up what is and isn't actually true at the end of the book ("Dullard is a funny word"). Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

New Callings
We finally made it onto the ward radar screens. I am now Nursery Music Leader, and Matt has been called - surprise, suprise - to teach the 11-year-old boys in Primary. Again. Actually, he's tag-team teaching with Rob Kovach, so they can each occasionally get to Sunday School and Priesthood. Cool beans!

Matt's Big News
Microsoft has offered him a full-time position. It's his dream job, and he never even had to apply. He just got in there by chance as a contractor, and they red-flagged him immediately as someone to watch. He's thrilled. And the benefits are beyond belief, they're so amazing. That goes into effect March 20.

That is all!
