 Katrina and Anna were down for appointments at Primary Children's Medical Center January 26-28.  The three foster children who were with Carters have returned to their own family which is a wonderful success story. 

Before Christmas  Katrina was shopping at Target and on a whim, asked Anna which dress she wanted.  She held up the first dress and there was no response.  The same thing with the second dress but with the third dress Anna smiled and and smiled.  Wondering if it was just a fluke, Katrina tried the experience again.  The result was the same except the second time, Anna became really excited,  Anna is wearing the dress she chose herself for Christmas in this picture.

Kathryn Ann enjoyed an orientation with Herbert Klopfer and practicing with Sister Dale. 

We got a snow storm of about 12 inches in West Jordan.  It was a snow day for Salt Lake Valley and for the first time in 10 years the traffic was too bad for us to go into the Training Zone.
