January so far

Random events in January to date:
--Marian turns 14!!  She had friends over, ate her favorite Nutella cake, opened presents, and had fun
--Gabriel and Anna return to college and report that they love their new classes and are also having fun
--I start sewing for The Wizard of Oz and get very busy.  We do the "Tornado Taping" scene, it will be an actual movie we show during the musical, hopefully looking like the movie!
--Bogdan has an interview for a new job at the lab, we'll hear soon about the outcome, but it looks good!
--We endure a LOT of rain during this month with threats of flooding.  It's been very warm and Marian is supposed to do skiing in the Smokey Mountains each week, but last week it was cancelled.
--Marian continues to prepare for Confirmation, which will be in February
