While January is generally a gloomy month, we passed the time playing games, reading stories, baking, entertaining, and slowly molding our lives into a new routine here.

| Maylie's Christmas pajamas |
 |
| Playing with Daddy |
 |
| A visit from Colbie, Molly, and Chris...Maylie wasn't too thrilled to have her picture taken. |
 |
| Then there are those quiet moments when I try to memorize every detail of her sleeping face. Everything else fades away and I am filled with an ecstasy I've never known. It's as if heaven is cradled in my very arms. |
 |
| Nana and Grandpa & Grandma Lystrup came to visit... |
 |
| We ate lunch together and Grandpa took lots of pictures which he turned into a little slideshow for the boys. |
 |
| Of course, there were the days of dancing and wild, rambunctiously sweet boys... |
 |
| And when Grandpa, Grandma, and Sadie came to visit... |
 |
| The wrestling match commenced. |
 |
| But I'm not really sure who won...I think it was a tie. |
 |
| We also enjoyed a visit from Nicole and Jason. |
And looking back on this blessed month, I truly hope that of our little home it can be said: "Family and Friends Gather Here."

That Maylie is so stinking cute!
Have to admit - I'm glad January is over, but only because that means spring is closer. It was still a good month with lots of happy things, but January can feel so long! Maylie is so beautiful - just can't believe all that hair! The ward isn't the same without your family!
