Not really. We just wanted to check out the ward that we would be in if we manage to get the house we want. It is the Capitol Hill ward in downtown Denver, and I think we had a good experience today. It was definitely a different experience for me at least, because it is an urban ward, which means a) we had to navigate a lot of one-way streets b) the building has four stories and a parking structure and c) the ward will be much different (diverse) then our BYU-Idaho ward (in a good way). Everyone was friendly, but we were a little worried when 4 minutes before church was supposed to start and there was only 12 of us in the chapel. We did manage to fill up half of the chapel, but I guess about half the ward was out of town. I sure hope so, because I only counted 7 primary-aged kids. That's smaller than the class I teach!
The hardest part of the morning was Patrick. He is wonderfully friendly and not shy at all, but he is getting to that age of mobility and independence which is not helpful for church. I'm not used to having him the whole time because Reed takes him during Primary, and I am super grateful for what he must go through each week. Patrick is turning in to a handful! I love him dearly, but he WILL NOT nap at church, so he gets really whining and when he is the only baby around, it sounds really loud!
Anyway, we enjoyed visiting our hopefully-soon-to-be-new ward, and we are getting excited about moving on!

Cute house! We'll cross our fingers for you. Our ward has been pretty sparce lately too. We went from a Primary of 60 to a Primary of 20 in two weeks!
Oh... and I meant to say - that time from about a year old until nursery is TOUGH at church! Reed's a good man to take Patrick for you! What blessing!
