still alive

Hi!  Man, it's been a long time.  I'm too tired to go find my camera from our Canadian Christmas trip and post pictures.  Maybe tomorrow....Lots of crazy decisions to be made lately but more importantly lots of brilliantly beautiful memories spent with loved ones to end 2010 with a bang:  pedicures with the ladies (my first ever!), riding donkeys with Grandpa, late night Rook games with siblings, food, food, food, and more food, Christmas day with 24 grandchildren and 18 adults, birthday and New Year's Eve party with 50 family members (Great Grandma got some broccoli stuck in her esophagus and scared us all when she stopped breathing and slumped over in the chair!  Thankfully two doctors, two nurses, and an EMT were all in the group and after a blessing and rushing out to the garage to head to the ER the broccoli dislodged!  She credited the miracle to the prayer of all the great grandchildren and a priesthood blessing).  Had a blast swimming at the rec center and hotel with cousins, too many fun memories to even write down.  Love our adorable nieces and nephews to pieces!!  Oh, I forgot to mention the puke flu that is flying through our family!  I wonder whose turn it is tomorrow?!  Just thanking my lucky stars they have all managed to make it to the toilet and no one took their turn while we were driving in the car for 18 hours! 

Always An Adventure.

Family, family, family. 

That says it all.  Their overwhelming love and generosity is so uplifting and renewing. 

May 2011 bless us all with more joy, patience, faith, hope, and love.

Cheers!!
