Between our Hawaii trip and Josh’s mission stuff, there’s not a whole lot else to report. But here’s a few more Jan happenings.

The Bald Eagle is Back! Love spotting him on my walks
We watched the Schofield kids while Carlie and Dan had a little staycation where they organized their entire year. Trips planned, date nights schedule, even a meal plan for the WHOLE YEAR. I am impressed. Mave lost her tooth while they were gone, and luckily, the tooth fairy found her at our house!
Is that Cyrus or just a big pile of balloons??
I hosted a breakfast for the YW. They kidnapped the new girls and brought them over. We played some fun games and ate delicious pancakes.
House Rennovation is in full swing! The cabinets turned out beautifully, and the floor looks brand new!
Rusty is in the midst of digitizing about 1,304,562 photos, slides, cards and letters. It’s quite the project, but it’s also been a ton of fun reliving old memories

About 1/2 way through December we realized we were a couple hundred points short of earning our Southwest companion pass for next year.  We called to ask what our options were and they told us the only thing we could do was get on a plane.  So, that’s what we did!  Rusty had a voucher…

We were alone for Thanksgiving this year. While we we sad not to have our family nearby, it’s been a hectic few months and we were glad for some time to decompress. This is the first year that all of us ran the 5k. Blake decided he wanted to give it a go. The weather…
