January 2012 - Review

January was somewhat of a blur. It started off with a calling in church (1st counselor in RS). The following day, a wonderful family in our ward tragically lost their father. He was in his late 30s with five children. It is still shocking and my heart and thoughts are constantly with this family. Because of my new calling, the next few weeks were filled with doing anything we could to help ease this family's pain. It has really helped me to value my relationship with my husband and children and to enjoy every moment. 

Life continued to roll on, even though I sometimes felt like it should freeze for awhile.  We kept busy with work, church and kid activities:

Visiting cousins in Phoenix.

I found a lizard in my house.  Since Troy wasn't home, I just put a cup over it until he got back.  I'm lame, I know.

We went to Chuck-E-Cheese on a rainy day.

We created new clothing ensembles.

We built really tall towers.
