Winterized

Finally an updated family picture. Love them!

James and I were outside until almost midnight last night in sub-freezing temperatures trying to finalize all of our winterization efforts. The garage and the back patio have been in disarray as the shed has been under construction. With its completion, we were super anxious to get things back in order. We parked the van in the garage last night for the first time in probably two months. Good timing too, our high tomorrow is supposed to be 22 degrees!

Bryant sang the hymns in sacrament meeting today. That was one of those precious joys for me.

Talmage bore his testimony in sacrament meeting. I don't think he was even nervous.

Hyrum has his first really nasty nose, but he's being a good sport about it.

Sariah is relentless when it comes to "defurring" Hyrum. She takes his socks off, pries his toes apart and picks the lint ("fur" as she calls it) out. He is so patient with her. We've tried to get her to leave him alone, and now we catch her sneaking him off to do it. It is a serious fettish. You can tell she is agitated when we won't let her do it. I've found an outlet for her though. She loves to peel oranges and pick off all the white stuff.
