The Loot

It's 11 pm and I am snuggling under warm covers with my new laptop.

Ok, not snuggling with the laptop. Snuggling, but I happen to have the laptop in front of me. I am playing footsie though.

Down to Business.

Above is a picture of the handmade Ark I have been saving for over a year.

14 months to be exact. Yes, Mo was 2 months old when I found this beauty on Craigslist for a ridiculously good deal. It's an heirloom really--and similar ones go for $250! But I ain't the moneybags, so I tell ya I got this for wayyyyy less than that. Ok, I can't help it--a 1/5 of that. Alright, 50 bucks. (Is that socially uncouth to brag about a good deal and spill dollar amounts? I do it all the time. I know it's bad. I just don't get impressed by how expensive something is. I am however, completely dazzled by a good deal.)Anyway, so that was the splurge for Mo. We also got a couple cheapy cheap, practically disposable, plastic (gasp!) toys that Mo loves. For now anyway. But he also played 1/2 the day with an empty wrapping paper tube, so- whatever.

And of course the grandparents spoiled him.

And us.

But today we are most grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Atonement, and Eternal Families.

Man, we are Blessed.
