Insomnia

Well, its been a week and a half since I was laid-off, and I have am going crazy! I'm so use to working, I do not know what to do.
Sure, I've spent a lot of time with Cynthia and the kids. I've done a lot of fishing, and finally starting to see some things around the area(it only took me two and a half years and being laid-off to do so), but I feel as if I'm becoming useless. Hopefully this won't last too long, as I may have a few options coming up.

We do have some things planned for this week and next week, we are going to Boston, and also going to see a few museums close by. We also got the opportunity to go to Pagaent in Palmyra last week, and I must say it was spectacular. We had been to Hill Cumorah last year and when we pulled up to Pagaent, the size of the stage on the hill was awesome. The show was amazing, Travis almost stayed awake through the entire show! The one thing I don't get, though, is the protestor's that show up. Do they really think telling us we're going to Hell for being Mormon is going to convince anyone to leave the Church or convince those interested in the Church to be swayed? If anything, it just makes us all look better. I asked one gentleman if he would like us all to come down to his church on Sunday and stand outside and make noise while they are trying to worship, but of course, he wouldn't answer me. I do not have a problem with someone voicing their opinion, but I do believe there is a time and a place. And you shouldn't be telling families, especially ones with young children that they are going to Hell for their beliefs. I'll get off my "Why can't protestor's find something better to do" box now.

Travis and Jenna have been getting so big, and are learning so much. It is amazing to see their growth over the last year. Travis now says his own prayers, as well as family prayers. He doesn't seem to let Cynthia or I get one in, unless we tell him we are going to say it. Jenna even folds her arms and is usually quite for prayer, no matter how long Travis goes on. It was so funny, today Travis asked Heavenly Father to bless our blessings, I guess he wants some kind of superhero blessings, haha.

Yesterday we went fishing, and Cynthia finally caught her first fish. She had caught some before, but I had thrown the line out and set the hook for her. This time though, she casted her line out, set the hook, and took the hook out of the fish's mouth(albeit a very small fish), now if only I can get her to field dress a deer.

WEll, I think I'll try getting some sleep, as it's only a matter of time before kids atart waking up.
