Religious Education

Reese is doing great and sleeping much better.  Consequently, so are Mom and Dad.  As you can see below, sometimes sleep comes in uncomfortable-looking positions but we don't judge.  Sleep is sleep and we'll take every last bit we can get.
In addition to sleeping better and eating more solid foods, Reese is also moving around and probably fairly close to crawling.  She's currently still scooting herself around, sometimes in circles, but sometimes she surprises us and ends up 2 feet away from where she started.  She even manages to use her "monkey toes" as we call them to pick things up (see below)
This week, Reese and  CK joined me and my project team for a tour of the Draper LDS Temple.  If you're not familiar with LDS (as I was not) their temples are very sacred and you are not allowed to enter them unless you are a member of the LDS church and you are living high moral standards (as judged by their leadership).  However, this temple in Draper that was recently built has not yet been blessed by the Church so they have been offerring free tours to the public prior to the offical blessing (which occurs this weekend I believe).  So we got the very unique opportunity to tour an LDS temple in it's entirety.  We learned a lot and the temple itself was beautiful.  CK told me not to get any ideas when we saw the cherry wood they imported from Africa, the crystal chandeliers, etc.
