David's First Sewing Experience

Roseville 3rd Ward coordinated a service project where we made pillow cases for a children's hospital. David was very excited to participate so I took him to Walmart so he could pick out some really cool "car-themed" material for our project. A good friend, Cindy Harris, helped us by lending her machine and giving us "sewing lessons." David loved sewing because he said it felt like he was "driving a car" when he used the pedal. This was a very easy project that David and I had a great time working on together.

I was so proud of him for first having the desire to serve and then carrying out the plan and finishing his project. The material David selected was so cheerful that I am sure it made a little boy very happy.

David's Favorite Season

David's favorite season is summer. One reason he loves the summer months is because he spends a lot of time with Jason. He and Jason have had playdates together since David was 10 months old. They are like 2 peas in a pod although opposite "peas" in coloring. They enjoy doing everything together, especially swimming.

Those playdates were especially helpful this summer with the addition of Spencer and the resulting lack of sleep with a newborn. Linnette often called to see if David was available to play. What a lifesaver she was!

Lowe's Project With Mom

While Dale was away, I took David to complete a Lowe's kid's project. It was so much fun to work with David. He is a quick study and great helper. Jason and Linnette joined us too. Spencer slept peacefully through all of the hammering and noise (thankfully).

As I recall, with all of my woodworking skills David had to explain some of the instructions to ME.
And fortunately for me, David was too young to be embarrassed by my hair. I was a little sleep deprived.

I really love to hang out with David. He is so much fun to be around.
