That Was Awesome!

This morning, Katy and I went to Wasatch School to see Lizzy perform in a talent show. Emily was involved at some level and was also MC for the show. Lizzy rocked it to a Glee cover of a Michael Jackson number (with which I am unfamiliar [not surprising]) and the younger classes who made up the greater part of the audience, loved it. Katy heard a young fellow exclaim, "That was awesome!" And it was.

Lizzy has some great moves

Good job by the Ensign women

That's all for now.

The Big Dig

Well, this dig isn't as big as the so-called "Big Dig" that tunneled a freeway under Boston, but it is pretty incredible, nonetheless. You may remember a post back in mid-December when Stephen's basement project started. It has progressed steadily and the dig is now complete. Today they cut through into the old cellar and next week the last of the footings and foundations will go in. I think it has gone very fast given that it all happened one five-gallon bucket at a time.

The buckets in question

The new stairway on the north side of SKT's house

The dust is from cutting through the wall into the cellar --
we though it had cleared, but look what the flash revealed

Looking south under the living room

The new entrance to the cellar

Our life has been extremely ordinary, so this will have to suffice for news.

That's all for now.
