Here's To Life!

Started those home maintenance/improvement projects - Paul cleaned out and then painted the pantry area of the kitchen.  We also bought a new ceiling fan/light fixture for the dining room which we are going to have installed next week.  What will be next?

Celebrated Epiphany on January 6th with a party with church friends - many sweets and snacks, a fun king game and a house blessing.  End of the Christmas season so have taken down our Christmas tree today and in process of putting all of the decorations away.  An end to a good holiday season.

Enjoyed the beginning of the new year at home - watching the Rose Parade and various football games.  Homemade pizza for dinner. Kristin bought a new dress for New Year's eve and sent this picture.  We spent a quiet New Year's eve at home after doing some shopping during the day and then going out for a late lunch at Maggiano's. Now it is time to think about going back to work after two weeks at home.  It has been a quiet time - Paul has had to work a lot, but I have had a chance to get together with my kids and friends and have enjoyed the time off.  Also finished two books over the week.
