Normal Life Continues

This is such a cute picture, I just had to include it.

I really need to get better about having my camera with me more often.

The whole family went ice fishing last Saturday and we all (even me) had a great time! Next time I WILL take pictures. We've had a pretty mild winter, but the ice was 14 inches thick. It is so fun to play on!

Stephen is learning long division. It is not the best of experiences for him. He stayed home from school yesterday because his stomach hurt. I could tell that it really did, he wasn't just saying it. About noon he was fine. This morning his stomach hurt again so I knew something was up. It was math. I called his teacher (who was very glad I called) and she said that Stephen is doing just fine and understands the math as well or better than most of the kids in the class. So Stephen went to school feeling a little better. He just got home a few minutes ago and is happy and smiling! Still has math homework, but he's not so stressed about it. Yay!

Ellen is sick again. Grrrrrrr.

We are having rice and beans for dinner tonight. I actually have meals planned out for the whole next week! I'm so excited!

On January 10th I was released as the Primary Chorister and set apart as the 1st Councilor in the Primary Presidency. I'm way excited! And a bit busier. I just love Primary!
