has been pretty uneventful. After very two busy fun-filled months of November and December with everyone coming and going, January settled into a very slow, quiet routine. Not even the weather could give us a little excitement! The weather has been very disappointing, creating no sledding opportunities, and more importantly, no weather days or even late starts for school! Just cold, crisp days. Alec is still hoping that February and March will come through for him.
We spent fourteen hours yesterday on a Youth Temple Trip to the Washington DC Temple. It was a very long day, but turned out pretty well. After baptizing a small ward, 31 of us got on the metro and went into DC. Most of us went to the Natural History Museum; a few rebels went elsewhere. You all know how much I love museums...but I was a good sport and didn't grumble too much, at least not in public. We only got (had) to stay for a couple of hours, before boarding the Metro for our return trip to our cars and dinner at Hunan City...another favorite of mine, you all know. Actually, it was very small so Dad, Alec, and a few other non-Chinese food lovers went next door to a small Peruvian restaurant. Not all that much more exciting for me, but they were all pretty happy. I truly believe the majority of the group would have been happier to stop somewhere where McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, and Arby's were the normal fare. We had two chatty girls join us for the trip home (in lieu of going all the way back to the church before coming home) which Alec was so excited about! Not!!! We returned home and were all snuggled in our beds by about 9:30 pm.
There really is not much more to report from this side of the country/world. Dad and I survived our birthdays....thank you to everyone for wishing us a Happy Birthday! We both would be just as happy to skip them next year, thank you very much.
Dad and Alec just left for General Priesthood Meeting; so I'm home alone for several hours. I have YW lessons to prepare and this will be a good chance to get those going.
Hope everyone is healthy, happy, and doing well wherever you are.

Way to blog, mom!!! Now...do you know how to read these 'comments'. So what did you eat at the Peruvian restaurant? All of the Peruvians I know eat one thing...chicken, potatoes, and rice. I love it!!!
Mom, sounds like you need to make an emergency snow appreciation trip to Idaho from what I'm hearing on the news this morning! Maybe Alec can take a few days so he can dust of his sled too!
