Since I wrote last we have enjoyed a very nice Christmas filled with sitting around and doing nothing but relaxing, playing wii games and board games with the family, watching some movies, and sleeping in late. Then reality returned. Concerts, music lessons, homework and more homework, seminary, service opportunities, and so on and so on ----all returned.
As most of you know, I grew up in Minnesota. I have a love hate relationship with January. I always hated the below zero temps and the -40 windchill. I can remember cheering when after two weeks we finally saw a 0 on the thermometer. The love part was that life tended to slow down in January. Maybe the extra pounds gained from fudge and cookies devoured at Christmas slowed everyone down or more likely it was just too $%#@(*&^ cold to go outside! Massachusetts is a little warmer but it's not Florida, it still gets cold here! I was really looking forward to the January lull. Unfortunately, it never happened. I never got my January lull. Tomorrow will be February and life will continue to go on at the fast pace that is my life. But today, I will mourn the loss of my January lull.

BeeeUtiful snow photo! I'm sorry you missed your January "lull." I think I missed it too, only I didn't know what to call it. I'm just glad the rush of December is over. It's always great to read your blog and find out what you and your family are up too. If there are other family members who blog, please send me the addresses and I will add them to my list.
