We hope to start the new year by keeping this blog updated with events as they happen in our lives. Today's technology makes it easy (if you know how - still learning on that end of things) to keep a "journal" of sorts ...online!!  But of course, it will take dedication & a learning curve to achieve the desired goal.

But we are encouraged by our good friends The Metcalf's who are serving as temple missionaries at the Boston Temple - and keeping up their blog.....we find it inspiring!! Thank you!

So we have completed Christmas - Having Katie, Megan, Adam & Noelle (w/ Braxten, Alex, Logan & Chloe), Tyler & Becca (W/ newly born Mya)....ALL under the same roof Dec 24th. Food Laughter sharing = some great memories.  

I hope to learn how to post pictures soon - to add some depth to the names mentioned & their varied personalities!! This year only brought sickness to 2 of us...well 3....no actually it was all four of us here at home - after Church on Sunday!!  

Should recover fast though - there is too much to do yet, before Katie has to return home Jan 1st. we'll see what all can be accomplished!! (Dang, where's the spell check???)
