Julie and Jason went with Kristilyn, Mark, John, and KAR to the Ballroom Dance Concert on Friday night at the Conference Center Little Theater. We had pizza at Eliasons before the concert. They are still very much in love. 
Kira and Talisa looked so cute in their coordinating dresses. Kira figured that she was as big as the other cousins and could play games with them--especially hide and seek with Jason and Keith! They ended up playing "sardines."
Kira, Talisa, Grant, and James. They had to endure pictures before they could play games. 
We are absolutely thrilled that Kristilyn and Mark will have having another set of twins next August. They are the longest married and will have the most children. The doctor was encouraging when he said that since Kristilyn carried Grant and James full-term (37 weeks for twins) that things should go well again.
Kim and Talisa made the cupcakes with surprise red hearts in them. We missed having the rest of our children and grandchildren with us. Melody and Brandon are in the midst of a huge blizzard and Melody's work has closed down. Fortunately Brandon is now at a hospital just five minutes in good weather from their home. We are looking forward to Ruby Marie's birth this month and have made plane reservations for her blessing. We will be there from the evening of Friday, April 8th, to Sunday, April 10th, so we will be back to the Training Zone for Monday students.
We enjoy telephone visits, pictures, and letters from the Carters. It's wonderful to know that Anna's adoption might be complete this spring. We're sorry to hear about their car problems but happy to learn of the many good things that are happening.
Saturday, January 29, John and I went to the Draper Temple for Sarah Ellen DuPaix’s endowment. It is a beautiful, sacred place though we couldn’t see it until we were almost in the parking lot because of the dense fog that morning. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences between the session there this week and the session in the Bountiful Temple last week. Roger and Edie, Jeannie and Brent, Meredith, and Debbie were there. Afterward we had soup and salad at DuPaix’s home. We went to the 100th birthday open house for President Steve Smith’s mother at our building. She is still living in her own home and was delighted to visit with everyone.
We started another week with CSM’s. Both our students are experienced genealogists with serious health problems. What faith and courage they have to continue to serve. Elder Kucher and Sister Pethel each had cataract surgery Monday morning so when they came back to work the entire zone greeted them with patched eyes. They really got a chuckle about that so we had to have a zone picture.
It's down to zero ronight and with the stiff wind, it is very cold but things are well. We are greatly blessed. We had our regular dental check-ups today from Dr. Pickett and he didn't charge us again. Another kindness. They hadn't been able to fill my arthitis prescription at Smith's so the tech made arrangements to have it filled at Target. We receive daily love notes from heaven. Take good care of one another.
