update
I said any day, and any day was right (see previous post). Yesterday morning while I was trying unsuccessfully to make up for the hour of sleep I lost back in the spring, RT came in and informed me that K had done a complete roll from his back to his tummy. This morning I also received the privilege of seeing this incredible feat. As always, once he decided to do it, he did it as if it was perfectly natural and commonplace.

No trick--I think lentils are a treat!
Legumes
I have been learning how to cook with legumes (that means dried beans, lentils, dried split peas, and other things). They're actually pretty easy to cook once you've done it a few times. After using dried beans for several weeks, I opened up a can of kidney beans that I still had and thought the canned beans weren't as good. Pinto beans are pretty much my favorite--I will stand over the pot and just eat them. I've also tried cooking with lentils a couple of times. I always had the impression that they weren't very good, maybe because I associated them with Lent. But I had never tried them and thought maybe I ought to before I passed a final judgment. The family cookbook has a recipe for barley lentil soup, and I have tried it twice now. It was so good! Lentils are easy because you just have to rinse them and then cook them in water--no soaking. And combined with the barley you get a complete protein without adding any meat.
Here is the recipe:
1 Tb. vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 cups stock
2 cups water
1 cup lentils
1/4 cup barley
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (optional)
1 Tb. fresh parsley, minced (optional)
In a large soup pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic, carrot, celery, thyme, marjoram and pepper until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add stock, water, lentils and barley to the pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until barley and lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley before serving. Top each serving with yogurt or sour cream and parsley.
My Cynical Thoughts about Halloween
I was kind of looking forward to having trick or treaters come this year (this was the first time I'd had trick or treaters come to my door), but it wasn't quite as fun as I expected. Trunk or treat parties started to happen at the church a few years before I felt like I was too old to go trick or treating, so I got to go a few times. Before that, we went trick-or-treating to a few people who lived in the same apartment complex as my grammy and spent some time talking to Grammy. Then we would go visit the Rosenbaums, who always had a variety of popcorn balls and sometimes other treats (they also had really cool Halloween decorations), and we would sit and visit them for quite a while too. Things were simpler then. I wish more people had that kind of experience for Halloween. We had fun dressing up and showing off our costumes and didn't worry about how much candy we could get. I don't think it's like that for most people--it felt like candy-collecting. The kids and the parents really were gracious this year. I guess it was just an eye opener for me. I may have to put some thought into what I want Halloween to be for my family. Maybe we'll add some kind of service project to make me feel better about it.
I am afraid I'm getting too cynical.
I'm going to try to end on a more positive note.
Of course, some gushing about K.
K is trying really hard to roll from his back to his tummy. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it any day now. He just hasn't figured out how to get past that arm. I think he gets pretty frustrated that he can't quite make it yet.
Missionaries
We fed the missionaries again last night. They are great young men (I feel a little odd phrasing it that way because I'm actually not that much older than them). I don't know why I used to be so nervous about inviting them to come. One of the things that was mentioned at the adult session of the last stake conference was that having the missionaries in your home is a great influence on your children. I felt good about that comment and I'm planning to invite them often so that our family can be influenced by their examples. I love the messages they share and the things they try to do to help us be member missionaries. The spiritual thought they shared last night was very timely for me. The elders also got K to laugh. I was very impressed.

3 months, a week, and a day
Here's a little summary of K's latest tricks and antics (with some cute photos):
K knows how to get his fingers in his mouth and he's drooling a lot.
Does this mean he's teething? Maybe. I think babies usually get their teeth later, but it's possible, and the drool and desire to suck and chew on things are pretty good indicators. Bibs have become much more necessary now if I want K to stay somewhat dry. He's also learned how to stick his tongue out and lick things, which is really cute, but also really wet. I'm really wondering if this is some kind of pre-teething, because he's been much more fussy lately than he's been for about a month. It's nice that he's learned how to suck on his fingers and thumb, though, because when he wakes up but actually needs a little more sleep he will often suck his thumb and fall back to sleep.
K is enormous.
I really noticed it while RT's parents were here. He's getting so BIG! He's transitioning into 3/6 month size clothes, which is great since it's starting to get cooler and those outfits are warmer. I keep looking at the bigger clothes and thinking, "There's no way that would fit him. It's way too big." Then I try it on him and it's a perfect fit. I guess I don't realize how big he really is. I'd better be careful or he'll never get to wear that size of clothes--before I realize he's big enough he'll be big enough for the next size! He is heavy, and I hate carrying him around in the car seat. We left the car seat in the car and just carried him last week for Stake Conference, and I think I liked it better.
K is growing and developing so fast!
He's been able to roll over from his tummy to his back for several weeks now. He's starting to push things away if he doesn't want them--he will purposely grab his pacifier and take it out of his mouth! He loves to play with his toys, especially the red bug and the plastic keys. I think he likes those ones the best because they have parts that are easy for him to grab--and he does grab them and hold them now. It's been interesting to watch him learn to do that. K also seems to be figuring out how to push himself forward with his arms and legs, which makes me scared--one of our nephews was running at eight months, and I don't know if I will be able to keep up with K if that happens with him. Still, I think in some ways he will be more content once he's a little more mobile, because sometimes I can tell that he really wants to go places. I think it will still be a while before he figures out how to army crawl, but it will happen before we know it. He also "sings" with me and tells me all sorts of stories. He knows quite well that if he smiles and wiggles as fast as he can that we will tell him how cute he is.
K found his toes.
So cute!
After K's First Trunk or Treat Party
. . . notice the spoon he used to eat his chili. :)

what's been happening
RT's parents visited.
While they were here, we went to Hanging Rock State Park, watched General Conference, and watched K be cute. RT and I had schoolwork to do sometimes, so they also went to see the NC Botanical Gardens and the Arboretum without us--braving the free bus system by themselves. It was fun to have them here, and they were also a big help to me with K and housework. After they left, at first I kept thinking that it seemed like K wanted to be held much more than normal, but I think maybe it was just that there were other people there to hold him for a week. Thanks for coming and for all the fun and help!
I found out that I don't have to take another introductory English class.
When I transferred to NCSU, a lot of my credits became useless. I can't figure out why they don't want to apply my two Book of Mormon classes, my D&C class, and my Family History class to the religion requirement. : ) So that has set me back a little bit. I wasn't too happy to find out that I was going to have to take English 101. I took English 150 at BYU, but it was only 3 credits and the one at NCSU is 4, so they wouldn't use it as a replacement. I didn't get much out of English 150, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't learn anything new from English 101 at NCSU either. Fortunately, last summer I randomly found a page on the college website that said that I could put together a portfolio and if it passed they would waive the class, so I found out what was required for that and submitted it. Don't ask me why nobody told me about this when I was accepted in 2008--I blame most of the many problems I've had with this school on bureaucracy. This weekend I got the letter saying that the English 101 requirement will be waived. I'm so glad, because it was just one more class that is between me and graduating some time in the very distant future.
I wrote a paper.
I had to write a paper for my British Literature class, comparing two of the works that we have read so far in the class. I did procrastinate a little bit, but I still ended up writing the bulk of the paper a few days before it was due. I generally hate writing papers, but I actually almost enjoyed writing this one. Our teacher talked a little bit about how to make our papers have a logical progression that leads to proving the thesis, rather than having three unrelated points that are somewhat related to the thesis. He also talked about the difference between weak thesis statements and strong thesis statements--particularly about how to make a strong thesis statement by choosing to prove something that isn't obviously true or cliche. I felt like it was an invitation to break out of the bland five-paragraph essay form that I've always felt I was expected to follow. I still used an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, because those are important, but I think the paper had some direction and I didn't feel like I had to give away the entire paper in my thesis statement. (This is sort of the form I was always taught to use for a thesis statement: [The main point of the thesis statement] because [main point of first body paragraph], [main point of second body paragraph], and [main point of third body paragraph].) It did take a little more thought to write this paper, but I felt like I was actually writing down thoughts about things I thought were interesting rather than putting an outline in paragraph form, so it flowed much better. It felt good to write something that might actually be interesting and thought-provoking for someone to read. I still feel like my writing has a lot of room for improvement, but I think I've moved up a level, and that's encouraging.
We had Stake Conference.
Bishop Burton (yes, the Bishop Burton) was there and gave a nice talk. I really enjoyed it. Some of the things that I learned from both sessions and want to remember:

- Spend individual time with each of your children. This provides opportunities to share testimonies with them, get to know them better, and talk wth them about their struggles and problems. Without this one-on-one time it's easy to not notice that they're having a hard time or to miss out on special experiences with them.
- Have the missionaries over for dinner often--they are great examples for your children!
- Make FHE, prayer, and scripture study a priority for your family.
- Show your children by your words and deeds that you enjoy having a calling in the church (including home and visiting teaching) and that you believe magnifying your calling is important.
- Trust is very important with the people who are most important (i.e. your family).

America's Strength
Recently I saw the headline for an article in RT's school's newspaper: America's Strength is its Diverse Heritage. However, I saw nothing in the article that indicated why our diverse heritage is America's strength--I won't say that it's not something that makes America stronger, because we do have a unique and interesting heritage and culture, and I think it does unite us and make the United States a special country. However, I would argue that our most vital source of strength is not our diverse heritage.
After reading just the title of the article I thought of the many verses like these that are written throughout the Book of Mormon:
2 Ne 1:9, 20, 31
9 Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem shall keep his commandments, they shall prosper upon the face of this land; and they shall be kept from all other nations, that they may possess this land unto themselves. And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, and there shall be none to molest them, nor to take away the land of their inheritance; and they shall dwell safely forever.
I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that these principles are vital if we want to prosper in this land which God has given us. Lehi was teaching his children that if they wanted to be successful in the new land which they had come to, they had to obey God's commandments. It's a simple principle, and we can see it demonstrated throughout the Book of Mormon and also today. Whenever people became prideful, greedy, and wicked, the people suffered--for example, they became vulnerable to attacks from the Lamanites, they were cursed with famines, and they fought with each other--sometimes to the point of civil war. If they repented, they were able to heal--physically, temporally, and spiritually, and they prospered and had great joy.
This same concept applies today. One of the greatest reasons that people suffer in the United States today is because they do not keep the commandments of God--many people do not love their spouses or value the family, they commit whoredoms and abominations, they are greedy and covetous and dishonest, they are not willing to work, and they even deny the existence of God and the right of others to worship Him. These and many more things are causing poverty, sickness, and grief. We cannot prevent all suffering--part of the reason we are here on this earth is to endure trials, because without enduring trials there are many things that we could not learn. However, much of the suffering that occurs on this earth is because of sin and disobedience to God's commandments, and this iniquity prevents us from prospering in the land. There is an increasing number of people who insist that sin and disbelief in God are not the problem--they blame it on the government, big businesses, racism, and even the Christians. But in many ways they are wrong. God has given us this land, and the only way that we can fix the problems that exist here, heal from our many kinds of wounds, and prosper again in the land is by repenting and obeying His commandments again. So our greatest source of strength is God, and the only way we can receive that strength is by obeying and trusting in Him.
That's why we need to be missionaries and share the Book of Mormon with people--to convince them to obey God's commandments. And it's not just about prospering in the land during earth life. It's about building God's kingdom and helping to bring about the eternal life and exaltation of as many people as possible. The hard work of the prophets and people of God in the Book of Mormon to convert people to the gospel and convince them to repent was a very effective means of establishing peace again in the land, and it will work for us too.
Several of the prophets of the Book of Mormon speak directly to us and tell us they have seen our day. I sometimes wonder if they slapped their foreheads and said, "AAAAAHHHH! They're going to do it again! Why don't they get it?"

And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, and there shall be none to molest them, nor to take away the land of their inheritance; and they shall dwell safely forever.
• • •
20 And he hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence.
• • •
31 Wherefore, because thou hast been faithful thy seed shall be blessed with his seed, that they dwell in prosperity long upon the face of this land; and nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them, shall harm or disturb their prosperity upon the face of this land forever.

K's Baby Blessing
I forgot to mention that last Sunday K received his baby blessing from his dad. It was a very nice blessing. It was a special experience to hear my own son's baby blessing, and I think it helped me to know him a little better to hear the blessings that were promised to him. I am grateful that I married a worthy priesthood holder who can use that power to bless our family. I'm looking forward to seeing the things that K will accomplish in his lifetime, and I want to do all I can to teach and train him so that he will be faithful and true to the gospel.
Here are a couple of pictures that we took after church that day:
The afghan he is lying on was made by my great-grandma Velma for me when I was born, and my mom sent it to me. It's nice to have something that my parents had when I was a baby, and also to have something from Grandma Velma. I have many memories of spending time with her when I was little. I really loved her.

Hanging Rock State Park
Hmmm . . . I thought I already posted this, but it only appears as a draft in my list of posts, so maybe I didn't. And the orange word "draft" is going to bother me, so I'd better publish it.
RT's parents are in town for about a week, so we all went to Hanging Rock State Park yesterday. We had a nice time walking on the paths towards a few different waterfalls (yes, there are waterfalls and mountains here). We like to spend time in the outdoors together. RT took a lot of really nice pictures. I have a suspicion that he may want to write about it and choose his favorite pictures, so I'm going to leave most of the pictures for him. If you want something to do in North Carolina, this is a very nice place to go. It's also pretty close to Pilot Mountain, which is a pretty cool geological feature. We drove close enough to see it and then went home because we were tired after exploring Hanging Rock State Park.
RT looks like he's just below an overhanging rock, but he actually discovered that there was a big gap there and the rock at that point is breaking away.
Here you can see the gap (the camera is pointed towards the sky). It's pretty wide, but I climbed back there before RT did and didn't even notice it because you can't see it until you're right underneath and looking up.
I think this is the farthest I've been able to see since we moved here. There are so many trees everywhere that you can never see very far. It was a beautiful view.
K was very good and mostly rode in the Baby Bjorn carrier with his dad. Most of the time he was content to sit and lick the side of it and look around, even when he was jolted around a little bit. I thought these pictures were so cute. Thanks to Amy for the cute hats she sent.
