February 1

So I was told I have been a blog slacker and technically I have, not many posts for January. I am clearly not off to a good start. So with a new month, here's a fresh start. This year, our ward is working on provident living goals. The goal for last month is to keep a journal and write 5 things you are grateful for each day....well I am obviously behind on that one so I will start it this month.

Today I am grateful for...

1. The mild winter we have been having

2. My daughter, who makes me smile

3. My husband being off for the last 3 weeks, I have been spoiled and may have gotten used to having him around all the time, lol

4.Being a stay at home mom and able to earn an income while being with my princess

5. The Gospel

As for my little princess, Miss Lydia, she is doing wonderful! She spent most of yesterday asleep! She slept from 10:30pm-8am (her norm), I fed her and put her in her swing to "talk" to her birdies like she does every morning and she conked out about 10 minutes later.... she slept from 9:30am-1pm! She woke up and played with mommy for a bit and fell back asleep in my arms around 3, slept for about an hour and then last night she took another 1.5 hour cat nap! I'm thinking maybe she is hitting a growth spurt!

Dennis has been off for the last 3 weeks because he hurt his knee at work. I have gotten really used to having him around, I am really going to miss him when he goes back to work.

Me, well the only new thing for me is that I have to have gallbladder surgery at the end of the month. It will be outpatient and they think they should only have to do one incision through my belly button. I have been having problems since Thanksgiving and during an ultrasound to find the source of my pain, they discovered some gallstones.

That about sums up our January. We have just been enjoying the very mild winter weather we have been having. It was almost 60 degrees yesterday! CRAZY!
