March of Dimes



So my amazing sis-in-law Linz is walking this Saturday in the March of Dimes for babies. Her daughter, our sweet little niece, Noelle was born two months premature. It was very scary and we are so grateful she grew up so healthy and perfect because we couldn't imagine life without this adorable girl. I know many of you don't know her, but Linz is walking to raise donations for other babies that are born early and their families. Even $5 would help, if you are able to donate, you can do it online at http://www.marchforbabies.org/lindseypfeil1. Thanks, please donate if you can!

My Aly is home! I know it sounds like I am in love with her, but it's because I am a little bit. She is amazing, it is so fun to see her again! I will post pictures when I am feeling less lazy (it's a big job to plug in the camera, then there's all the clicking and saving and uploading, too long!) and you will all get to see her amazingness. I'll say it again, I love that little love pigeon.

In other news, Tanner takes his MCAT two weeks from Saturday, it's cuhrayzee!

I dealt with so much poop the other day at work. Way more poop than any one human should have to be around. Mommies, I know you see a lot of poop, but it comes out of cute little bums. Not the same experience. Not at all. Speaking of poo, I made a coconut cream pie for a baby blessing last weekish, and the crust was gluten free and it wouldn't harden. Tanner and Rachel's hubs said it looked like diarrhea. As we were leaving, an old couple was dishing some up on their plate and I heard her say "What is it?? He replied in disbelief, "I don't..know." I just laughed it off, becaue the truth is, it was delicious. Truly.

My first day in my new calling as "Sacrament Chorister" (very prestigious), I didn't realize the sacrament hymn had started because I was busy whispering something to Tanner and got up late. During the same hymn, I didn't realize we had finished the hymn and the pianist had to ask me to sit down. I wasn't even embarrassed for a whole five minutes because I was still so confused about what was happening. I thought I was rocking leading that hymn, but apparently I was too into it. I think subconsciously I wanted to put in my time since I started late. Then, the last hymn I couldn't figure out out to do a 2-2 time, so I was going WAY WAY WAY too fast and looked like one of those crazy conductors on a looney tunes cartoon for about 10 seconds, until I realized "there's no way it's supposed to be like this" and stopped frantically waving my arm like a crazed lunatic and suddenly and randomly slowed to a normal speed. Hopefully I at least gave the bishopric a good laugh (I stand right in front of them). I don't feel too bad 'cause I haven't led music since seminary in high school and I always figure no one really watches the chorister. For all you music majors out there that were watching me in horror, at least it ended up being a funny story, right? After it was over, Tanner said he was too embarrassed to even watch me, he had to look down the whole time. Thanks for the support hubs.
