Conference Days

Don is in California selling art again this weekend (and hopefully making LOTS of money that we can use to keep the wolves from the door) and the weather is reminding me that we are in Arizona by maintaining 100*+ temperatures.  We have been going a little bit stir-crazy, but we are enjoying Conference as much as our lap top and its hearty efforts at maintaining a live stream.  We lost it a couple of times today, and spent a good five minutes figuring out how to get audio when the Church team forgot to turn on the speaker's microphones for their stream (finally ran radio.lds.org with the video from new.lds.org until they realized and turned on the volume).  Aurora had fun with her Conference packet (I downloaded every possible packet and printed my favorite) and even sneaked into her daddy's office and watched the last session wrapped up in a blanket in Daddy's chair, alone with his large-screened computer.

Tomorrow we are headed to the Stake Center to watch on the BIG screen (and get out of the house...and feel a bit more Sabbath-like).  I'm excited.  Conference packets for the twins all ready to go and Rora has her scripture tote ready to go.  (Bought her a new set of scriptures (her first) and a nice scripture tote (looks like a lunchbox) for school.  She's excited about it.  I love it when my children get excited about anything religious!
