As I look back on the past year, I am extremely grateful for our blessings. Dispite the confusion and state of our country, I have thought about all the little miracles that are happening all around us, and with extended family. I continue to believe in a Heavenly Father who loves us, and hears and answers prayers. I want to thank my family for all the joy they bring into our home. For my grandchildren who are my angels that brighten my day when I think I'm falling off my rocker!
This family picture makes me laugh. How often do we laugh out loud or just make a fool of ourselves? Not often enough! I have an incredible husband, that when life does a U-turn on him, he still plugs along with a positive attitude and with greater determination to press forward.
I love the Temple, and the peace and comfort we receive, and the blessings that have come to us for just striving to do the right stuff. And referring to the picture again, apparently Ryan took a potty break, or just trying to get the attention he obviously needs. :)
Thanks to all who have made me laugh, and have helped strengthened some of my weaknesses this past year. Hoping the new year will bring you comfort and JOY!
Last night we had the pleasure of attending Richard and KaraLyn's winter concert, where Richard was the featured soloist, performing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. (It really was 1/2 hour long!) It was magnificent!!! He played it so beautifully. Thanks to all the family who attended. Ken's parents, Lance & Becky, Magan, Richards parents and a lot of his family were there, and even Trev came to enjoy the classical music. Thomas, Marianne and William also came, and were so proud of their dad. Sarah told me just before the concert that her dad was famous because his picture was in the paper. Way-to-go Richard, we're all proud of you. After Richard performed, the orchestra played Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" By Dvorak. It was also beautiful, a familiar piece to most of us. Well done Richard, YOU DID IT!!!
It really was an awesome concert. I asked Kent Arnold to get me a recording of the concert. If anyone would like a copy, let me know and I will try to get one. Ken
