Is It Spring Yet?

Hooray! It was actually warm today - I mean maybe even 70! It felt like it was roasting. The other day I commented to Jeff that it was a warm day - and he looked at the thermometer and said something like "it is a warm 30 degrees then." I laughed. Perhaps I am acclimatizing. Maybe. I joke with Jeff that the next place we move is going to be Africa - so we can avoid winter. He suggested one of the Pacific Islands. :) Oh, thank you Susan for the red, strawberry material. I am very proud of Jubi's jumper. Hosanna's is almost finished too! It feels very satisfying to have the girls wear clothes that I have made.

Snow Day

Jubilee and Hosanna were quite motivated to sled in our inch of snow. They found every patch of snow and tried it our together. The boys are not "into" snow. They like to see it fall, but don't like the cold of it. So the boys and I watched the girls sled from the window.

Firewood

Jeff and the wood are our heat source. There are lots of people that give away their fallen trees. Here is some we picked up and had fun cutting it up. Jonathan had the most fun - he bounces in place and screams "yeah" when the chain saw is going. Such a boy!

Hosanna has an affection for her snow pants. As you can see in the picture that there is no snow, but she likes that there is so much pink! Such a girl!

Capitan and Me

Here we are! We went to a Valentine Banquet our church held that night. I got to where my twirly skirt, and Jeff wore his shiny purple shirt. These are what we wear to be snazzy. :)

BonFire

Here we have our neighbor (who used to be a fireman) make a bonfire with all our yard debris. He said that the fire was shooting 50 feet high. The kids had a front row view to the best fireworks display. (Safe too for all the safety cautious out there).

Here is the lastest cute, group shot! A lively bunch!

Snow Day

We got a few (maybe two) inches of snow and the schools were closed, which meant that Jeff didn't have to drive to a staff meeting! So we got to sled! It was 14 degrees and windy, and therefore we only lasted for three times down the hill, but it was worth it.
