Back in November my family got together and we had a HUGE family reunion.  It was the first time we have been together since ...um... before Steven went on his mission.  So before I got married!  It was a lot of fun to have my whole family around.  While we were together we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take pictures.  This our little family picture.
Isn't she just the cutest 17 month old you have ever seen?
------------------------
Last Saturday I got a call to meet with my bishop Sunday morning before church.  I immediately started thinking of all the callings I would like and would not like to have...but I decided that I would accept any calling that I was given.  I was thinking that being the primary pianist would be the best job in the world ... well this will teach me to want a calling.  I was called to be the primary chorister...I'm pretty sure my eyes got really big and my jaw dropped because almost immediately he started telling me why I was chosen for this calling.  This Sunday will be my first day and I already started having nightmares about it.  I am very nervous, but I am also excited.  I think once I get used to everything it will be a really fun job.  I felt a lot better about entertaining kids after the previous chorister brought over a ton of materials and posters.  Jon wishes that he had my calling right now because he does not want to watch Josie during Sunday School and Priesthood ... but really, he only needs to do it for a total of 6 hours!  After that she will be in nursery!!!!!
------------------------
Jon got his top braces off last month and he will be getting his bottom braces off in a couple weeks.  He is excited about having straight teeth.  Jon having fun at home.  He does a great job taking care of Josie and taking care of other needs around the house.  The other night Josie got sick and threw up twice.  He took care of Josie, did the laundry, and everything else that comes with a sick baby...and let me sleep.  I didn't even know she was sick until I got to work.  He is a great man, I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

I thought of the same thing Rachel ... the kids are WAY nicer and cuter than our old ward Choir. So far so good. Hope everything is going well at your new place.
