Chef Alden

I was playing with Alden tonight, and he got in the pantry. The firs thing he saw when he got in there was a box of instant pudding. I asked him if he wanted to make it, and he nodded his head enthusiastically. I tried to let him taste it while we made it, but he was more interested in stirring. I finally convincedhim to try a spoonful, and he lost most of his interest in the process, and started to feed himself. I was impressed at how little he spilled. Someda when he a star on the Food Network we'll look back and say we knew him when...

Sorry about not writing

I know it's been a while.

The personal project that I was working on is no longer important, and has been dwarfed by other personal projects and minor and major crises at my regular job, which take a lot of time and energy. That and all these other things seem to get in my way.

I'm trying to be a good dad, and that means that I play with my kids instead of write on my blog.

I'm trying to be good in my calling, and that means that I work on Family History or write in my journal instead of write on the blog.

I'm trying to be a good husband, and that means that I fix dinner and watch the kids so Julie can take 30 minutes to go the library to get a good book to read instead of write on my blog.

I'm trying to be a good worker, and that means that I spend time trying to collect money, and create databases, and work with vendors, and try and get a smooth running company. So I do those things and that leaves little time to blog.

Do I miss writing? Yes, I do. Do I miss your comments? Yes, I do. Will I try harder to write regularly? I can't promise anything. I hope that you, dear reader, will understand and continue to have patience with me and us as we sort this all out.
