Christmas in Paris


I so enJOYed reading madsinreallife@blogspot.com...a picture diary of the Bodine Family and their Parisian Christmas. My niece Maddie had the gumption to share this adventure with me via blogspot. It was a thrill to sit with Mom and Dad and see the photos of Paris and London...clearly, the Bodine's had a Merry, Merry Christmas and a Joyeux Noel.

JOY is family.

Utah State Fair

Always a JOY is a trip to the Fair with Noah (and friends.) Grandma and Grandpa made this adventure possible so we are more than grateful for the opportunity. The weather cooperated--it didn't rain and it wasn't too hot. There was ice cream and I SCREAM with laughter. Quite frankly, it is the bright and cheery colors that draw me in for the thrill and though I never set foot on a ride, it is a pleasure to watch my boy have a grand time with his friends. Besides, it is the roasted corn that is a REAL TREAT for me... what would a Fair be without a visit to the Pigs? Without winning some fish? Without having a water fight in the spas?

And He Cried Cough, Cough, Cough, All the Way to the Tahoe


Noah's ear infection began to heal, but his cough was non stop...especially when we were all trying to get a few winks. Earlier in the day a neighbor had mentioned that mold and mildew can really irritate an already suffering respiratory system. Our carpets had recovered from the water heater leak, but there was growing mold on some sheetrock. After hours of Noah's coughing, Rick thought it would help to get him out of the house. He gathered pillows, sleeping bags and blankets and piled them in the back of the Tahoe where we slept for the night. The hatch was wide open for fresh air. JOY was hearing the sounds of a summer evening rather than Noah's cough and sleeping under the stars. It was awesome !!! The next day, the sheetrock was cut and removed and Noah's cough improved greatly as did his desire to take up residence in the back of the Tahoe.
