Post 100

Well, I missed it by one day, but my 100th post has now been made one year from my start. I just hope it has been interesting.

As for today, the sun is out and the temperature is 51 degrees. This is not normal January weather, however I am not complaining. I am still cold. We would like to see some more snow to help with spring and summer water levels, but I don't miss driving in it. The local skiers would also like to see some more snow to cover the brown patches starting to show through. I am also starting to notice the 1 to 2 minuets more of sunlight we have. I am ready for the dark to go away. My brain says, "Dark, it must be time for bed!" my calendar says, "Wait, there are still things to do before you got to bed. #1 - feed family dinner." And the kids are stir crazy. They leave for school at 9 am and get home at 4 pm. They didn't feel like they had any time to play outside. So, yes, we are glad for the days to get longer.

We are also already talking about the end of school activities. In past years the fifth grade went to Science camp for a week in California. This year the Principal asked the teachers for find something else to do. Allynn was so disappointed. As parents, we are glad because this year the school has been able to bring the Science Camp to Reno. And it will cost less for each student to participate. Notes have started coming home will bits of details planned for the week, so Allynn is a little more excited about science week.

It seems like yesterday was the first day of school at the end of August. The time will fly just as it has till now.

Congrats on your 100th post. I enjoy blogging, and I enjoy reading other blogs, too.

I didn't realize you were released as Primary Pres. I sure miss it, and I don't. Mixed bag. But I love playing piano in primary, that way I get to be in there and have fun, without all the responsibility. Best calling ever!
