Jeff and Cindy - Est. December 3, 1981

Now the holidays have come and gone. I am always so sad to see them end, but it is good to look forward and plan for the future. The holidays were wonderful. We enjoyed so much our first Christmas with little Quorra. As you can see, she really enjoyed the present from her Grandma and Grandpa. That smile just does something to you :o)

It is interesting starting a new year and remembering the blessings from last year. I have to say how grateful I am for 2009. As you can imagine, not at all what was anticipated but grateful non the less. I truly feel I have come to know my Heavenly Father more and am thankful for the healing process of the atonement. 2009 has been a year of miracles for us and one we will always hold dear to our hearts. Challenges can be such blessings. It has been a season for miracles. What I guess we need to realize is that miracles happen often. I think we can look for miracles each day and be grateful for those experiences that touch our lives and change us forever. I pray now that in 2010 I can go forward and make a difference for others, pay it forward, and try to always live life with gratitude. Thank you so much to all my family and friends for making a difference for us and being those hands and hearts of service and compassion. We have felt your love and prayers and will always be eternally grateful for that touch of the Master's hand in our life.
