Catching up

Back in December we went to a great exhibit in the museum of Church History and Art. It is across the street just west of Temple Square. The exhibit is called "I am a child of God" and it is full of fun interactive things to do for kids. Here are some pictures of it:

We had Christmas Eve at my parent's house. Ethan got a big boy potty. He hasn't been too excited about actually using it--but it definitely makes a fun toy!

This is Madeline on Christmas Eve--also her 3 month birthday.

A lady from my mission (Noemi Grau--right) was in town. She has a daughter that lives in Salt Lake who had a baby in November so Sis. Grau has been here for a couple of months. We got together with her at my trainer's house (Melissa Chipman--middle) for dinner. It was so fun to see her. When you serve somewhere as far as Paraguay you don't assume you'll ever see some of these people again in this life. But how fun when you do!
