January is almost over!

It's my least favorite month (followed closely by February--sigh) and now we are in the home stretch! I have to say that it has gone by rather quickly.
Last Monday, which was Martin Luther King day, we went down to BYU and helped at their community outreach day. It's an annual day of service that they organize in honor of MLK Jr. Now, I would like to say that we were completely altruistic in our endeavor, but we had some motivation. We signed up through the Disneyland website, and will receive one day Disney tickets for each of us! Isn't that cool? Unfortunately, Mark had to work that day, but the rest of us are riding Space Mountain for free!!
Our project was to cut out and sew hand puppets for the LDS Humanitarian Services. It was time-consuming, but pretty fun. Janie keeps asking if we can do it again next MLK day. The only thing she didn't care for was the long meeting with speakers that came beforehand.





In other exciting news, Derek just got contacts. He broke his glasses playing basketball, so we decided to try them. He's still having a little trouble with the getting them in and out part, but he likes being able to see and not having to push his glasses up constantly. He also turns 11 in a week and a half, so we'll have a reason to party then.
Here's to hoping February goes by fast, too.
