This is basically why I haven't posted in the last month. I've been SUPER preoccupied trying to put out fires
Replaced all 4 tires on Fusion
Josiah's diet - NO dairy. Not even cooked into other foods. This is crazy:

Plumbing Strike 3
Woodbadge part 2, trip to Phoenix, fix breaks on Fusion
I want to write about a lot of this in more detail, and may or may not get to that, but I do want to say that there were some good things in all of that - like General Conference and my birthday! Also, I made some great progress with Daryn's family history and that is always super exciting. Ooo I even discovered a transcription error in the Washinton State Digital Archive and pointed it out to them, and they thanked me for pointing it out and fixed it. Now anyone else looking for those documents will find what they need much faster. :) It made me feel significant, which is something I've actually struggled with lately, so Yay! :)
Annnnnnd that's what's happening at the Wright house these days! Also, ballet and Gymnastics are over again. We're broke so no more classes like that for a while. I'm also not putting her back in Preschool for a few reasons I'll address another time. Hopefully I will get a handle on life and carve out some time to work with her in some workbooks etc to improve her writing abilities.
