Congratulations Nicoll family on
you newest edition, baby
Guy!
When I left for the valley on Saturday I had asked Kaeli is she would try to finish up our visiting teaching or at least make appointment for Wednesday while I was gone, if she felt up to it. Her baby wasn't due for another week or so. Well instead of visiting teaching, on Monday Kaeli had a beautiful baby boy!
So sweet!
Love the shoes
I love the look of shear joy on sister Natalie's face.
James had a sleep study again last night. He was home before 6 a.m. and said he didn't get any sleep. First the mask on the new machine was too tight and then it was too loose. The good news is they think this machine is going to help him get a good night's rest. Let's see if the insurance will cover it.

GC: "Tomorrow the Lord will Do Wonders Among You" Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. The last conference talk. I have read them all five times and will read them again in September.
James drove me to Hailey Chaffin's today in his truck for visiting teaching. I had a nice visit with Hailey and Huntleigh, her one year old who is walking everywhere. I love Hailey and her family!
On the way home James and I stopped at the Stanford Store and had lunch at their deli. James had a ham sandwich on rye and I had a hamburger with fries.
Sweet potato fries that is!
When we got home we read on the porch from our new book:
Reading makes me tired, so I took a nap. After napping I was working on my blog and texted Claire Mercado and Randa Covert my two sisters I haven't visited yet. Claire texted and said she was moving back in with her mom and Cope and I could probably catch her around five. It was close to five so I left. I was able to talk to Claire and her daughter Marlie and give them my handout for the month about speaking softly as a way to show love. They also loved the lip balm. I will still be able to visit Claire while she is living with her mom Amy.
When I returned home I parked my car at the end of the driveway because James was working and had the Cat parked in the driveway. I told him to be careful when he moved the Cat and please not hit my car.
He forgot.
I was very upset at first, but I realized that whenever I make a mistake like this he is very patient and kind. I said I was sorry and was ashamed the way I reacted at first. Of course my husband is much more important than my car.
I was excited that Randa texted me back and said I could come and visit her next week. I need to do that on Tuesday because I will be gone the rest of the week.
I found this on Facebook today:
you were sent from God."
