Lemons and Lemonade

Ken went on a couple of short business trips to San Diego in January. He was able to visit with his brother Carl a couple of nights. Personally, he is my favorite brother in-law but that probably has something to do with the fact that he made it possible for Ken to come out to California and marry me:-) Of course Ken didn't take any pictures of Carl and Jason.

Jason gave Ken bunch of gorgeous lemons to take home. Oh my goodness, they were beautiful and sweet!
I squeezed a few of the lemons and it dawned on me that Lemonade is always made from concentrate. I don't know why that was so amusing to me but it was. It was also amusing that I made the lemonade on January 31st! I spent the entire month of January saying to myself I just have to get through this month and everything will be okay.
This was the most delicious lemonade I have ever had and the perfect ending to a hectic month. January was really crazy for me: Three of my kids were sick for 2 1/2 weeks, Ken went on a few little business trips, Science Fair Projects, a huge Primary Activity, preparing 5 Sharing Times for the month, taking various kids to a total of 8 doctor appointments, an MRI and an Appendix scare, and to top if off 3 visits a week to the chiropractor. It was pure craziness! But, we survived and we were hugely blessed!
