A post! FINALLY A post!

So I posted every single day in December and got totally burned out on blogging. So, January so far:
- Cleaned off and organized my desk. I bought my laptop in September but hadn't cleared out my old computer yet. There's SO much more room now!
- Started on a new year's resolution project.
- Put up with cranky kids:

- Worked like crazy on projects for the hospital and midwives' college. Attended 9 hours of meetings/teaching sessions in 2 weeks time! (It's usually 2 hours/month)
- Missed the regional Reflections awards ceremony because no one told us when it was. Found out the next day that Callie's poem WON and she goes on to the next level, which will be on Thursday of this week. And since we know, we'll go!
- Taught Brynn to blow bubbles with "Gubble Bum" as she likes to call it!

- Went to the Draper Temple Open House with the whole family.
- Watched the inauguration. Callie celebrated by making this:

- Went up to Park City to get away from the foul air. Walked Main Street during the film festival. Didn't see any celebs or get many good pictures at all. Well, maybe we saw some celebrities but we're old so we didn't recognize anyone. Had fun anyway.


- Had no electricity last night for a few hours. Kids were asleep. Darrin & I played UNO by candlelight. Hard to tell green & blue apart that way.

Even though it was just after 10 pm when the power went out, it was eerily light outside. I took these pictures through the window just before midnight. No flash. There was no visible source of light at all. Just lots and lots of snow bouncing light all around.
