Great weekend here at the Doyle residence in spite of the snow.  Saturday was our free day so we ate junk, junk, and more junk.  I do try to control myself, but I'm pretty sure John doesn't.  He ate a few cinnamon rolls along with all the other junk. I went to a baby shower for a friend in the ward yesterday.  I had a great time visiting for over an hour with all my friends.  I really like the people in this ward.  After the shower John and I took the boys up to Mantua for my Grandma Hansen's birthday party.  We had a lot of fun eating sandwiches and brownies, watching basketball and talking and laughing.  13 grandkids were present (including spouses) and 12 great grandkids were present.  It was a huge birthday bash filled with lots of fun.  I was glad we braved the storm to go up there.  We spent a couple hours at my parent's house afterwards. While in Mantua Lincoln learned a new trick!  He learned to CRAWL!!!  I was so proud of him.  He crawls backwards quite well now and only crawls forward a couple steps at a time, but is slowly improving.  It's fun to watch and cute to see his little body moving around. Sunday was nice.  I taught the joint Young Women lesson on preparing for an eternal family.  There were a lot of questions and discussions about heaven, the 3 kingdoms, temple marriages, etc.  I had a lot of participation and I think it went over quite well.  I was pleased.  I'm also pleased that I don't have to teach again for a couple months!  I was really nervous.  The rest of the Sabbath day was spent napping, playing animals, coloring, and eating dinner (spaghetti and meatballs).  I just watched the last episode of Heroes from Season one and am fixing to watch the last episode of Lost.  I love my shows!
