Rebecca came home from preschool singing "If all the snowflakes were chocolate covered cupcakes . . ." Then she walked around with her tongue stuck out catching the huge snowflakes we are getting today - so cute!

True Joy
Today I had the privledge of spending time in the Boston Temple. I love the miracle of walking in those doors and feeling peace, love, and warmth gently wash over me. It's a little like waves of mighty oceans caressing bare toes at the shore.
Not too long ago we were lucky enough to be here when our dear friends the Victorinos had their son Kyle sealed to them.
Today it was our friends the Whites who were able to have their new son Jacob (adopted from China last September) sealed to them. It was an amazing thing to see the love and closeness of their family - the sealer talked about how blessed these beautiful kids are to be part of a family that will teach them that true joy comes from following our Savior. Brother and Sister White have an older son in our ward who has three adorable kids of his own and both sets of Whites are a joy and inspiration to our family and our ward. Congratulations!!!! Thank you for letting us share in your joy.

It's getting closer!
I'm a messy painter - paint in my hair, on all of my fingers and arms and even on my lip - no idea how that happened. The primer was really hard to get off and the whole house smelled bad . . .
I only used this shirt because it was already stained - Just in case Nikie is wondering.
All primed and ready to paint white - no wait, I changed my mind - dark brown!!!!
Middlebury Brown to be exact.
i LOVE it!!!!! DH not so much. Oh well, hopefully he'll change his mind when the walls and trim are painted too. I'm so excited - I knew painting it would help it look better, but I didn't think it would look this good. There's obviously still a lot of work to do; second coat, doors on the bottom, window trim, walls - but here, up close, in real life I think it looks GREAT!
