**1 A new ward with lots of new friends to get acquainted with. It's nice to still have a few faces that I recognize, though.

**2 Breakfasting with friends. That's a habit I could find myself getting used to.

**3 Movie afternoons with my mom as she is still taking it easy on her way back to normal.

**4 Getting the house back in order after all the holiday chaos.

**5 My precocious boy who eagerly asked me, "Mom, do you know why Jesus had to die for us?" "No, why did he have to die?" was my feigned reply. With a huge smile he answered, "To give us all hope!" Right on, mr. E. :)
