Swine Flu

It’s not quite official, but I’m calling it anyway.
Time of Arrival in the Loveless household: roughly 7:45 this morning.
Well, that’s when it first started showing anyway. Katherine came into our room at 6:00 this morning and crawled into bed with me. She likes to sleep in my arms when she’s not feeling well, so that [...]

Our Poltergeist Balloons

A story appropriate for Halloween I think….
Last weekend, Katherine got a Halloween helium-filled balloon at a Primary activity. On Monday, she got a second balloon, but this one was not filled with helium. As a joke, I tied the two together with the non-helium balloon hanging at the end of a long string. That balloon [...]

How can I resist?

It is now officially October 27. The snow is on its way and we’re supposed to have upwards of 4 inches by this evening. It’s cold, it’s windy, and I just drank a big glass of hot chocolate.

Turning 5

I find it incredibly hard to believe, but Katherine is now officially 5.
I kept trying to think of something clever or witty to write for her birthday, but I just don’t know what to say beyond a heartfelt “I love you.”
She’s such a special person to me, and I’m wrapped around her finger even more [...]

A few days ago I came home to find Katherine in full princess regalia; crown, jewels, dress, slippers… the works. She had a very stern look on her face, and it was obvious that something very important was happening. She had in one [...]

A personal relationship with the Savior

When we ponder the eternities, what is it that we see? A similar question came up in priesthood on Sunday specifically related to our relationships with our families. Most of the comments ranged from living in peace with our families to continuing the work on the other side. While surely those answers would be part [...]

First haircut

I was in a bad mood last night, and for some reason, shaving my head always seems to be somewhat relaxing. I think it’s the “doing something” part. Since it had been several months since my last shaving, I decided to go for it.
Katherine and Myron both really like to watch me shave my head. [...]

Elder Oaks Speech: Religious Freedom

I wish I had more to say in the way of commentary (I don’t). He says it far better and clearer than I ever could.
All I will say is this–We have the right and responsibility to be true to our faith, whatever faith that is.
Romans 1: 16–For I am not ashamed of the gospel of [...]

Are you weird yet?

Just thought I’d point out this article I saw….
And of course this inspires the question: Are you weird yet? Have you ditched credit cards yet?
We’re now on month 21 of not having a credit card, the world didn’t end, our finances are better than ever, the recession is a myth for us, and we pay [...]
