Sleepy Boy

Mo

This is Mo. Mo’s one of the funniest people I know. He is one of the planets that obits around Michelle, along with Robert and me. The last time I saw Mo was five years ago when I had just gotten back from my LDS mission to Moscow, Russia, and I had come home to find that he the others in the Michelle galaxy had become “ex-Mormons.” Now, he lives in Phoenix, Michelle and Robert live in Tucson, and I’m in Provo, but we’re all still friends. I think we would all vouch for psychology’s claim that the attachments that you form in your youth remain among the strongest throughout life.

Baby Zimmerman is... a boy!

Not knowing if our little one had indoor or outdoor plumbing, we had been calling it “Baby Zimmerman.” We went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and so far everything looks normal. We’re just grateful we don’t have to buy pink stuff. We decided to call him Joshua Laurenci Zimmerman. I know it’s terribly long, but Roseli and I both like Joshua, partly because of a song I made up,

and partly because one of Ethan’s favorite songs is “Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho” that's in a book of Jesus Songs that we have that plays music. And Laurenci is an alteration of two names. The first is Lawrence, my dad’s name, and the second is the last name of a French artist named Marie Laurencin. I saw her name in The Art Book and liked it. I have some French blood in me, and Roseli is part Italian (hence the –ci ending).

It took a while for Roseli to have the ultrasound done, so it was difficult to keep Ethan entertained. He wanted to “Go see the fish” in the aquarium in the waiting room, which we did four times.

The end is near!

I have two more days with my two writing classes! – This morning, the bell had rung, and only 4 of my 15 students in my 8:15 class were on time.




Here’s the roll for my 8:15 class. You can see that most of the students are late more often than not.








George is a coworker of mine at school. He and I tried out a new chocolate bar today. George and I threw a chocolate party about a month ago at his apartment.






Lesson learned: check the weather forecast! Especially when you ride a bike. It’s mid-April, the trees in Provo have already blossomed in brilliant purple and white, yesterday was Easter, then today, snow!








Ready to ride my bike to class, in the snow, and without my coat! (The end of winter is near, as well!)




We're required to "publish" two of the students' essays. I don't have two essays for every student, but I put up what I had. Click to see my 8:15 class and my 9:30 class.

The Sandbox

Before I was married, my wife bought sand. That’s right. She bought sand. It’s special sand, magical, some think. It is dust free and causes no allergies. And miraculously, it smells really good, but perfume is not added. I’m not kidding. Every time we’ve moved, we’ve needed to take that cursed box of sand with us, and it is HEAVY. Yesterday, my wife wanted to buy a container for the sand. So we bought a plastic storage container -- a sandbox.

This afternoon, our son Ethan went over to a neighbor’s house. This neighbor, Wesley, has a kiddie swimming pool filled with real sand, and water, and shovels and pails. Need I say he had fun?
