My latest victims

Nanny Sara strikes again.  These two are my most recent charges.  I'm just working three days a week and after the first week of getting to know each other things really have gone very well.  My only complaint is the commute to Lehi for those three days.  

I love to see the temple...

My friends Jen, Janelle, and I have made a goal to go to a different temple (in Utah) every month.  For January we started with Salt Lake.  

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Enjoying the picturesque scenery and feeding the goats.  What a lovely day in the neighborhood.

Nieces, Nephews, and Cousins, OH MY!

It was very fun to get to spend some time with my family whom I don't get to see very often.  It's always sad and a little crazy how much everyone grows while I'm gone...

Christmas Mission Dinner

I was able to enjoy the company of some of my favorite people at a Christmas dinner at the Acerson's home.  It's nice to be close enough to actually attend these things now.
