december and january...family adventures

I can't believe another year is already here! Time seems to be flying! Here is just a brief recap on the last two months: Mason got shots :(, poor kid! Christmas time was wonderful and spent with family and friends. We just came back from a weekend winter vacation through Kanab and Snowflake to Mesa Arizona and Las Vegas to introduce Mason to the Bacon family (Nate's Mom's family). Our car broke down, but we were rescued by Mike Erickson (one of our favorite brothers-in-law). Nate is doing very well at Goldman, and I'm just starting to teach some of my violin students again. I cut down a little on my studio, and I will be teaching now only on Saturdays. I'm also back in the Orchestra at Temple Square whenever I can to play. I am looking forward to going back to teaching. I hope Mason will be a good boy on Saturday mornings for  his Daddy. All is fair in love and war. We are happy and so blessed with health (which is always a miracle this time of year). We're looking forward to seeing some of you soon in the future. We love living here in Salt Lake close to family and friends.

  2. That Mason sure is a cutie! Glad to hear things are going well. We skyped with Grandma and Bruce the other day and they couldn't say enough about your trip to Mesa. :)
