Arizona, Mexican Food and another Minute of Daylight

Hello, All!

It has been a little while since I posted. We only have one more day left in January! YESSS!

Did you know that after Christmas, we get an additional MINUTE of daylight every day? My friend relayed that cool tidbit-fact to me today. :)

I had a lovely almost-week in Tucson, so that was a definite highlight. Frank and Kara held down the fort here in Wayland, letting me have a nice visit with Mom and Grandma.

The Arizona Temple will be finished this summer!

106 years young :)

Avery + Mom & Dad

I also saw Kris/Jessica/Avery/Trent, and we even got to see Avery perform in her gymnastics meet!

THAT was a real treat--those girls were SO cute! :) :) :) And limber. Wow, they can all do the splits :0 :0 :0



Grandma, Mom and I went out to dinner at Lupes, a yummy Mexican restaurant close to their house. Yep, 106 and she can still go have dinner out! Not every day. But one day, yes!

We do not have snow on the ground at this moment, which is another happy factoid for me. The true skiers around here are not all that happy about it. I do have a couple of snow-y photos to share, though.


Kara has survived two weeks of testing: one week of quarter-finals, then the SAT, then one week of Mid-terms. I don't quite get why they had to do end-of-quarter tests AND midterms. But there you have it. Her brain is full. Ugh.

Teresa, on the other hand, survived getting her wisdom teeth out, just 3 days ago. Double-Ugh! But it did go smoothly, and she did not have tons of swelling. Her roommates have taken good care of her.

David is taking a beginning Chinese class this term.  He listens to Chinese via headphones, while he works his quiet part-time custodial job each afternoon. (A double-good use of time!)

Well the day is moving on...
Have a great week!

Love, Kari
