Date Night

So Nate has been really making an effort to spend extra time with Jack and Bella since Sophie has been born to make the transition easier. And to take some of the pressure off me and give me full time to recover. We usually do tons of fun stuff together as a family in the fall, and let's face it, a newborn slows things down a bit. So a few weeks ago he and Jack went to a BYU football game. They have also gone to a few local high school playoff games. We have been waiting for something fun for him and Bella to do and on Friday, I found it. I was heading to the Rack in Sugarhouse and heard on the radio they were giving away tickets to see Enchanted tonight. The giveaway was about two blocks from where we were in the car, so we zipped over and picked them up. B was so very excited. She called Nate and asked if he would take her on a date. And then she began to count down the days to when they would go. She woke up this morning so excited knowing tonight is her date with dad and that in bonus to that she is seeing a movie a full week and a half before everyone else can go. I love how she is excited to spend time with her dad and how he loves doing fun things with his kids! I can't wait to hear how the movie was when they get home tonight, and plan when I can go! I totally want to go! But in the meantime, Jack and I will probably play a mean game of Monopoly and eat left over sweet and sour chicken, which is the perfect night for him and me.

In other news, I have been hugely busy with Primary. The end of the year is a giant organizational challenge. We have to restaff teachers, figure out classes, plan great to be eight, priesthood preview, and the meet your teacher breakfast. We think we will have eighteen classes this year, which is less than last year by one. We do have three Sunbeam classes again, which is a big challenge. But even scarier, in 2009, we will have 45 sunbeams coming into primary from nursery, meaning by the end of the year, we will have almost 60 kids in nursery! Yikes! However, all this is easier, because we have done it before, the first year was truly frightening.
