Aunt Peggy told us on her last visit that we got back to Adam and Eve in our family history! I thought that was so cool but I put it in the back of my mind until Tuesday. While I was helping Zach with his Seminary homework (okay, I was giving him the answers for his pedigree chart) Joey was getting on the computer. To make a short story long, we now have a password on the computer so Joey cannot get on until his homework is done. Yes, I am a cruel mother. It really is a pain considering any time anyone needs to get on the computer it is mom to the rescue. Travis even forgets half the time. But after the visit with his teacher when it was not Parent Teacher conference I knew that this would be a great way for him to get it done. (And he doesn't mind it too much because he says it helps him work on his detective skills as he tries to crack the code. Why does he tell me this stuff? I immediately kicked his can back to the table until his homework was done!)
I know, I know, back to my story. Well, Joey did it! He got onto familysearch.com and he managed to make it back to Adam and Eve! He had so much fun with it! Zach joined him later on and he, being the history fan he is (as long as it does not include homework, lol) was going crazy with who our ancestors are! And if I had a great memory I could point out a few but I am getting old after all and the mind is not what is used to be! But it made for a fun night as Zach shared a few things he learned last year (and during the summer, lol) about our ancestors, who were famous people of the past. And maybe someday I will actually put in some names. But my time is not my own these days.
But not many people can trace their lineage back to Adam and Eve!!!
