Now back to those dishes! @

Fun with Friends
After many days of really cold temperatures it was a real treat for the kids to be able to play outside. The temperature finally reached a balmy 20 degrees so the kids bundled up and romped in the snow. G had her friend B over for the afternoon and they told me they were going to climb a tree. When I looked out they were in the Aspen grove [...]

Back to our Routines
Christmas tree and trimmings are all down and put away for another year, new toys have a home, and a new year begins.
