2021 here we go

Wow just finished writing and then closed the window without publishing so then I lost it! All "116 lines". So now, rather than try to remember word for word what I had, I'll start over fresh and probably a bit more brief! Hi Moxons, Barrett, Youngs, and Russons! We love you all and have happy thoughts of you. Love the emails from Collin and Brandon. Love the Jackson and Caleb shenanigans on fambam+ as well as all the talents from all our youth. Please keep singing and sharing and posting! Love the baby pictures of Macky. Love talking to you on the phone and zoom. Hope the start of this new year has been good for each one of you.

Today home school is officially over! Thank you Cami! You were so wonderful to them. I know they'll always have happy memories of being with you during these months. You were fun, safe, patient, hardworking, and smart. Josh went back to regular school after Christmas break (1st grade). Michael went back Monday (7th grade), and Eva went back today (5th grade). Scattered return dates but they’re back and it’s good.

Quiet house today--Cami went down for a nap! I’m home this week just helpin’ with rides and fixin’ stuff. I spend time working on Stake stuff and reading and woodworking if I get the chance. Love to go on walks too Mom! Also have the tungsten studded fat tires ready to go on the ice. Don’t worry, I’ll cover my face and I have abandoned sub -10 deg weather.

Marissa flew back Saturday for BYU and classes started Monday. She’s happy there--and did so well last semester. She's still thinking about BYU nursing. It was so great to have her home with us for 6 weeks. Emily published her single, “Lemon and Honey” which I’m sure you all heard, but got to document it! Such a pretty voice.

Love each of my children and their mama so much. They all care about what’s right and try hard to be a part of what’s right.

Now let’s see if I can figure out some more pictures here...
