 Mary woke up sick Tuesday morning and threw up 4 times before taking a nap at 9:30 am. I met with the RS president through zoom while Mary slept, and she gave me the down low on being the RS secretary. Just after our meeting ended, Mary woke up and she was jumping and felt so much better. I was still careful about feeding her, but she didn't throw up again. That night after I put Mary to bed, we got out our telescope and Paul found Saturn again and was able to get great pictures of both Saturn and the almost full moon.

Wednesday, we went to the park with the Gochenours and Mary was so excited to see them. They played so well together. Lydia (3yo) tried to help Mary put her shoes on and all three girls were holding hands and walking around together, it was so sweet. That night I went to the baptism of the sister missionaries’ investigator. It was a great service and a lot of people from the ward attended. I picked up some shovels on the way home to prepare for the rock coming this weekend.

Thursday, we got the rock delivered before 8 am. I had another RS meeting with the first counselor that morning for about an hour. Paul got home a little early and we started moving the gravel right away. We got a perimeter done around the base of the house and around where we're going to plant grass. Friday, we continued to move gravel and some of the stone first thing in the morning. We got a water softener installed at the same time. We got tired out and it started raining around noon so then we prepared the house for Sam, Emily, and Andy to come that night to help us the next day.

Saturday, we started early and got a lot of gravel moved before the missionaries came at 9 am. The sister missionaries came at 10 am and most of the rock was moved by noon. The missionaries left after we fed them lunch then I put Mary down for a nap and we continued moving the rock until both piles were gone. I think we finished before 3 pm. Then we all showered and some of us fell asleep. Mary and I cleaned up the patio and kitchen while they slept. Then we just relaxed the rest of the day. 

Sunday, we went shopping with Sam, Emily, and Andy to thank them for their help, then we fed them lunch and they drove back to Utah and got home safely. We watched some Alfred Hitchcock Halloween movies that afternoon and enjoyed the cool fall day.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
