Winter

Ten years ago this month, my roommate tricked me into going on a blind date with her boyfriend's roommate.  I'm so glad she did!

 

 

We've gotten more snow than we did last year, but not enough to satisfy David.  Until yesterday, each storm this winter had skipped over us and dumped snow on neighboring towns.  For someone who regularly checks the weather in Siberia, this has been quite upsetting.

 

 

Here's one way we deal with the lack of snow in our yard:

Head for the hills!

Here we are at Battlecreek Falls on Christmas Eve.

 

 

Another way to get our snow fix is to visit Grandma and Grandpa in north Idaho. 

Take your pick: sledding, snowshoeing, skiing, etc.

Nathan loved having cousin Josh there.

 

 

Nathan is getting old enough to join us on some adventures. 

This year was his first time skiing and snowshoeing.

 

 

Storytime with Aunt Mel!

 

 

Handsome guy!

 

 

Two handsome guys!

 

This is what happens when you consistently stay up late, get up early, and run around like crazy all day.
