If these are redundant because you follow my facebook/instagram feed, I apologize. I can make my blogger stuff into a hard copy journal and can't do that with the others.

| Per our Tradition, we read the Book of Mormon this Year as a Family. Every morning at 6:30 we read for 15 or so minutes. This has been great for our family. We get family prayer, everyone gets a hug and it seems to work well. It's taken us a long time to get this down, but now it's habit and we're proud of ourself for doing it. |
Ben is my little Tag-Along. We had a Region PTA meeting and I brought all the paraphernalia to keep him sweet. It would have worked had the meeting not been 2 full hours long. Even still, I'm grateful to be involved in PTA. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated board. I hardly have to do anything and It's a good thing because Ben's favorite refrain is "Why is this taking so long"
Ben's Blanket was literally in shreds and I used my new fancy schmancy sewing Machine
(new to me. Thanks Joyce and Robert)
to darn it and resew, reclip and revitalize it. When Ben was born I made him a number of great blankets and this is the one he chose to be THE BLANKET. It has received much love.
This is my friend Shelly. This is what we did one Thursday night getting ready for Harmon's PTA Day. I taped down the Yellow Brick Road, but did nothing al all in connection with the design. I am so lucky to work with such dedicated parents at Bloomington.
One night at Grandma's Night was able to get every star block on the Tower at the same time. He's a great kid.

WHAT THESE PICTURES DON'T SHOW:
we have all been fighting the flu and I can't seem to get any rest. Even after the full blown flu seemed to go away, I have been struggling with pain and numbness in my arms. I am dragging. Not getting as much done as I'd like, but still doing OK considering.
Our firm, JensenBayles has purchased a new building on the Boulevard. We are so excited, and have been spending much time in the remodel of it. Wish we had some before pictures for you, but it's probably good we don't. Not too pretty. But we are very pleased with the results.
