Deep Creek Trip.

Mimi and Hank.

These are hard to walk in!

First time on the slopes.

A Big "Hank" of ice!



Walking on water.

About a week ago we made our annual Deep Creek trip.  We hit all kinds of weather on this trip.  Our first day there we had snow, two days later it was sunny and 60 degrees.  On our day home we had lots of rain.  While out there Brant got lots of ski time.  Hank was able to get a little ride on the skis.  Maybe next year he will be old enough to get a lesson?

While out there we were able to see the Polar Bear Plunge at the Honi Honi and walked out on the frozen lake. 

The Birds.

Sunday there must have been a few thousand black birds outside. It was so loud, it sounded like a killer attack. Yesterday I had off for President's Day and this morning I went into work late. We had about five inches of snow fall last night...after having 70 degree weather on Friday! I am now ready for Spring! Are you?

 



Valentine Fun!

Happy Valentines Day!

We did some celebrating yesterday and hope to do some more tonight.  It's always nice to have a fun little holiday in the middle of the winter to look forward to.

Another One.

We had some morning play time this week, when work opened late.  This video is of Hank in "mine playroom."

I"m dreaming of a White....BEACH!!

As I sit here in the dark, due to a 24 hour power outage, I am thinking of warm weather and trips to the beach.  Today I was going through photos and thought I would share some of the beach and the pool:

I did actually buy Hank's rash guard and trunks for this summer already.  You kind of have to buy those when they first come out, otherwise you can't find them in the summer... at least not the cute ones:)

I was off work today due to the snow and we did lose power last night and still do not have it back on.  Thankfully we do have a generator, so I am only sitting in the dark by choice, right now.  It still would be nice to have full power restored!



Sick Days and Snow Days!

Hard to believe January is almost over! It has been a month full of sickness and off and on snow.

We have all had nasal congestion off and on.  Brant had a 24 hour bug Christmas night into the next day.  Hank has had a few bouts of throwing up here and there.  Thank God his did not last long!

Last week he had croup.  That was his first trip to see the Doctor for a sick visit.

Now I have bronchitis.  Thankfully I got to the Doctor yesterday and am gradually starting to feel better.

We had snow overnight and more is falling now. 

"that's snow outside!"

Yes, I know I still have Christmas decorations up!

throwing snowballs "up in the sky."



Mr. No more naps!

Because a certain someone does not like to nap during the day anymore...this happens!
