A New Year! So it has begun. . . . Wooo! Hooo!

aaaaaah . . . just breath in the newness and freshness of it!!! And Hurray! January is here!!! I guess it has been here for a couple weeks. Anyway, it has been great so far. No Inversion! Snowing every few days, and some sun in between has been great!

We had a wonderful Christmas with our kids!! Christmas morning and spending time with just our little family of four (and Zephyr) were my absolute favorite parts. It was the most relaxing and fun, with the least stress involved. Don't get me wrong, I liked seeing other family and such, but I have to say, being with just my hubby and kids will always be my most joyful of times.

Scott is still working at Skywest airlines as a Ramp Supervisor. ( just to give all a heads up - his flight benefits have changed and we do not get buddy passes anymore from Skywest.) He says all the time that he is ready for a change. He has had a longtime desire to get on with the Highway Patrol one day. He is looking at getting into the Police Acadamy this Spring or Summer. I am excited for him and his goals. I am still working at The Sharing Place: A Grief Support Program for Children and their Families; running a Support Group there and doing family interviews. I also work at the YWCA as an Activities Specialist. The teens and kids there teach me something new everyday. Hana is in her final year of Pre-school, with the big K starting in the Fall. She is a very social girl and is EXTREMELY attentive in all things. It is cool to watch her mind work. Conrad is a fun, loving, crazy little man. He brings joy, and playfulness into our home. It is wonderful.

Luckily we were all pretty healthy through the holidays. Then January came and Conrad got a little eye infection, but we nipped it in the bud real quick, so he is fine. As for mommy, I was blessed enough to get Strep Throat this weekend. It totally took me out! It came on Sunday, and yesterday I felt like my body had been slammed against a brick wall. Its no fun being a mommy while your sick. Thankfully it was Scott's day off yesterday and he and the kids had a very fun filled day. They went to Cabela's; did a little shopping for dad. Then they went to the Living Aquarium in Sandy, McDonald's for an late lunch and the pet shop to look at the animals. What a fun day! Meanwhile, mommy was drowsy on Lortab, and in bed all day. aaaaaah. Fun for all! ;)


(I will post pictures soon)

I think mostly Scott and I are excited for what this year has to offer us. Abundance in all things . . .
