A Great Beginning to a New Year!!

Snow and cold, some blue and a lot of gray, then BAM!! it all looks sunny and bright with the arrival of little Dane Verlin Williams, our most recent addition to the Williams family.  Congrats to Shawn and Brook and family on their fourth.  What brave souls they are!!  He arrived at 9:09 am on 1/11/2011 and weighed in at 5 lbs 11 1/2 oz.  We took a trip to Logan to meet the little guy and had the opportuniy to take a few pictures.  And, he is royalty, as he is the first baby of 2011 in the Malad valley area.  I hope Brook gets a lot of rest while in the hospital as her hands will be full when she gets home and Shawn will be doing shift work, so won't always be available.  Kris is such a good mom and grandma and helps that little family out a lot.  I admire her patience.

Coming home, just out of Logan, we hit a brief patch of fog so thick I couldn't see the road stripes or reflectors.  SCAREY!!!  I was so afraid of running off the road into the swamp!  I am grateful for guidance in my life that keeps me between the reflectors and on my side of the road.  Really.  It must be so gray and bleak and scarey without it.  It was such an eye opener and I think I scared poor Brad to death.

Brad is going swimming with me at Downata.  I knew he would enjoy it if I could get him there just once.  And he's a pretty good car-pooler too.  Fits right in with us and off we go.  It's been a good week and it's only Wednesday.  Wow!!

Red Sky in the Morning, the sailors take warning . . .

Lots of snow and cold mixed with a little sunshine.

Well, enough for today.  This month is almost half over and my accomplishments have been minimal.  Must get up out of this chair and do something, even if it's wrong.  Maybe more blogging classes or scrapbooking classes, but then, that would not get me out of this chair.  However, I did exercise this morning so maybe I could sit just a little longer . . . .  hmmmmmm.  Til next time . . . .
