Jewel as a dog....she called herself 'Diva Dog' the name that is on the sweatsuit jacket. A busy Halloween for her as she got to wear her costume 4 different times. Once for her activity days night, one for a party (school friend), one time for the ward Trunk or Treat party and for Halloween night.15 year old Dakota as ???? He went to the home of his math professor (who lives in Highland Park) asking for candy...wonder what the look on his teacher's face was??
gratitude thought: Grateful for Daniel for his wisdom, insight and love of his children. He worked from home on Friday to be there for the kids on Halloween. Dakota decided at the last minute to go out and trick or treat around the neighborhood. Daniel went to the attic, got some fabric paint and helped Dakota paint his shirt...the painting lasted only 10 minutes...but the memories of daddy helping his 15 year old son prepare to enjoy his Halloween will last all of us a lifetime.
As I lay in bed as all was quiet on Christmas eve....I was warmed by the thought of my family safe and sound, warm and loved at home. Grateful for heat, food, a job, our health and the wonderful birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Dancing before I could walk, I was blessed to land a job with The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre out of high school. (Hunter College High School in Manhattan) This choice altered the rest of my life, as I lived the life of an artist, married and had children later in life. I have been blessed with the most wonderful husband and two healthy kids. Dakota's birth (age 34) Jewel's birth (age 40). Joining the church and serving has brought additional joy and new meaning as I will begin my midway point in life. It can only get better from here.
