This year brought a multitude of blessings and life experiences. In April we were called to serve a part-time mission to the Inner City Project. We are assigned to work in a sweet humble Ward. We have been overwhelmed at the temporal needs of individuals and families in this Ward. Lack of good shelter, food, clothing, and other needs are ever present. Roger and I continue to enjoy serving as ordinance workers in the Jordan River Temple on Saturday Mornings. This is the peaceful moment in our lives where we refill our cup of Living Water. Roger continues his full time work. He often works at home. He is such a good loving man and I enjoy our moments together. I love blogging and have a missionary blog. Entitled Living Waters @ http://lgwilliams.blogspot.com I enjoy Family History work. Presently, I am completing a history of my 98 year old Aunt Della. Thirty one grandchildren and two great granddaughters and have kept us busy with special events. Our grandson Jacob married a lovely girl this year named Dana - adding 3 more great grandchildren. We visited family in Utah, Idaho, Washington and Missouri to attended five baptisms and five Aaronic Priesthood ordinations. In addition, Travis and Amanda adopted a sweet little boy, Layton James, on December 15th. Two days later we were blessed to attend his Sealing to Travis and Amanda in the Rexburg Temple. These are the highlights of our year.
Love to you all! Roger and LeAnn

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year LeAnn, Roger, and family!
I too look forward to working with you in January. What a wonderful year 2012 will be. God is so good.
I really loved looking at the pictures of your wonderful family and I must say you have some very good looking children and darling grandchildren. I'm sure you all had a great Christmas. We were fortunate to be at our daughter Sue's and all her family, plus our third daughter Nikki was there with all her family. All together we were twenty one.
I also enjoyed the story of the Nativity by the children. It was really special. THANKS
You have a beautiful family, LeAnn! I wish you and your family a wonderful and Happy New Year!
What a lovely family. I have to say that I have always loved the name "Jedeiiah" (Jed) & if our 2nd daughter would have been a boy, that would have been her name. Did you know that the Lord, Himself, gave that name to Solomon? It means "loved by the LORD."
Also, about your question at Marmee's Pantry ~ Believe it or not, there's actually a website called Dog Allergies.com! Ha! Click here --> http://commondogallergies.com I would start there, if you don't see what you like there (like too many chemicals), then Google something like "Homemade Dog Allergy Relief" or "Organic Dog Allergy Relief."
