January 2010

January started out this year with a whirlwind trip to AZ. Gary's Aunt Linda passed away the end of December, so we packed up and made a quick stop to Flagstaff to play in the snow. . .
Then we were so grateful to be able to attend Aunt Linda's funeral, and see cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and friends.




When we got back from AZ, we got to work right away on our house. Gary ripped up all our carpet upstairs, and laid this wood. Doesn't it look great? We also repainted--and got some new furniture. I feel like we're in a new house!
Sydney received the Trailblazer of Success award the end of January for academic excellence. Great work Sydney!
