Fun Stuff


Horsing around with Collin, who is so good at keeping Boo entertained!!


A note that Boo wrote to me on a day that I got home too late to see him before his bedtime.  He started writing it without Chris knowing, who only noticed when Boo asked him how to spell the word "from."  It says "Hi Mom. From Jason.  See you to___"  Supposed to say "see you tomorrow" but I think he got tired of writing.  But what a sweet thing to come home to after a long day at work!

In his new suit and tie before his holiday program for school.  He was absolutely loving that tie, the first one he's had.
Doesn't he look handsome and, oh, so grown up???


With his teachers and his reindeer antlers from the program.



We got a pretty good snow last week, about 7 inches, and the three of us took a walk that night while it was still snowing.  It was beautiful out and so quiet while we made new tracks through the snow.  After we got cold enough, we came back in and warmed up with some yummy hot chocolate!







Daddy and Boo (who was a big help!) started shoveling our drive and then went over to help dig a neighbor's car out of the cul-de-sac, where she got stuck after pulling out of her driveway.  Daddy was able to help push the car back into her drive and then they came back and finished clearing ours!
Busy boys!!

Boo was loving having his own shovel so he could be just like Dad.

January - BVI trip


No, I haven't suddenly caught up in my posts and started blogging about what we'll be doing next month.  I'm talking about January...

2013.

Yep, almost one whole year ago.

Whoops!

I finally got fairly caught up with the rest of my pictures and had some time to photoshop the pictures from our trip to the British Virgin Islands that we took with two other couples this past January.  It was an amazing trip with some pretty incredible weather and awesome company, not to mention the yummy drinks that we tasted while we were there!  I'm not a huge fan of spending my vacation on a sailboat - which is what we did - but it wasn't too bad, although I could have done without the waves (big shout-out to my scopolamine patch which kept me from being nauseous the entire time!).

First night on the boat
