Happy New Year!

Our first family activity was to walk through a rose garden. We then went to the museum and enjoyed a Benjamin Franklin exhibit. We enjoyed learning about his life.
"Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none."
Benjamin Franklin

Our church leaders have asked the members to have "Sweet Hour" on Sunday's. It is one hour for spiritual learning. The purpose is to protect us from the "whirlwinds" of the world by being spiritually stronger and growing closer as a family. We look forward to that hour every week.

Mark is well. He is a wonderful husband and father. He works hard with Metro, and in his spare time continues to play basketball and video games! This year he has made a goal to learn Spanish.

I am well too. I attended a meeting with the theme "Light Up Your Life" I'm learning to recognize when I'm receiving personal revelation. I'm learning to love myself by not trying to please others all the time! I've had an answer to a prayer and I've been blessed with some positive friends. I no longer do child care. I feel our children need my love and attention, and now I can focus on that. I volunteer at the school, and participate in a book club.

Mariana celebrated her 10th Birthday on the 6th! The theme was Winter Wonderland.

David is enjoying school, and playing video games!

Joshua is getting better with potty training, he is taking his time!

Ethan had a strange virus that gave him a rash and had several allergic reactions. He finally had a healthy day again. He now likes eating yogurt.
