Lyla and I had a fabulous time going to Santa Rosa this January. It was great to escape the cold weather and enjoy 75 degrees for a change. All the locals have been praying for rain, but I was praying that the rain would hold out till I was gone, and I must be super righteous because my prayers were answered--it started drizzling the day I left.
We had such a great time seeing old friends, eating good food, and bonding with Grandma and Grandpa. Lyla especially liked Grandpa who played piano with her, took her outside, and fed her chocolate chips when mommy wasn't looking. Grandma worked hard to help mommy by babysitting Lyla, making Lyla special food, and trying to save her life by teaching her not to climb on things like the kitchen table. Lyla apparently doesn't appreciate those things as much as she does chocolate chips at this point in her life. We're working on it :).

| Lyla also loved having this little folding chair just her size and she even got to bring it back to Utah with her! |

| My dearest friends and their darling babes were kind enough to leave their husbands to come hang out with Lyla and I for a few days. It was so wonderful to be all together on our home turf again. |

We had such a great time that we were a little sad to come back home to the cold. We were glad to see Daddy again, but there's nothing quite like going home.
