Andy recently became part of the leadership of our ward (congregation). Since it was a special occasion, our parents came to church with us. As my mom was leaving, she turned around and came back to tell me "There's a dog running around outside that looks a lot like Dakota." I thought she was kidding and I couldn't believe she was joking about the dog at a time like that. I looked out and sure enough, there was Dakota, running back and forth by the front doors of the church, tongue hanging out, having a glorious time. I don't know how many people she must have terrorized before we found her! Andy went out and threw a snowball in her direction and told her to "Lie down!" My mom said it was like her legs collapsed under her. She knew her "dad" meant business. Spencer thought it was hilarious that Dakota had come to church with us. (In case you're wondering how she got out, we have a weak section of fence that falls apart when the wind blows hard. I had tried to fix it, but apparently I didn't do a good job. She came to church because we often take her to play in the field right next to it. Andy has fixed the fence now so we don't have a repeat of the chaos that day!)
One closing thought: I was putting Carson's socks on this morning when he said, "I miss my toes when they're inside my socks." Do you ever miss your toes?
