catching up..

One of my goals this year (which I have yet to write about) was to blog regularly. We are half way through January and I feel like I am behind on the happenings of our schooling and the family. I have still yet to find my groove in a routine since we have started school back. Hoping this next week will improve just a bit. So to catch up on the last couple of weeks, there will be a lot of pictures in this post!

The year started out great and we woke up to our first snow of 2012 on January 3rd. The kids were so excited! We decided a day of sledding was in order!

 
The kids got a couple of new sleds for Christmas.  Claire likes using the green sled.
 
Samuel likes using the black sled, because it has brakes!
 
I love seeing them sled together.  They do enjoy playing with each other so much!
 
This is the creek that runs next to our house.  I love how the snows is on the rocks.
 
I love seeing the ice and icicles on the rocks during the winter time.
 
This is a picture of our road and the front yard.  The Japanese Cherry Trees will be beautiful in the Spring time.
 
The pictures just do not do this creek the justice it deserves.  It is beautiful when covered in snow.
 
I always love getting a shot of this little shed in the winter.
 
The kids sledding down our neighbors hill.

Sarah got into the action of sledding with the younger kids.  Never can be to old to sled!

first snow of the season

first snow of the season

The first snow happened a couple of weeks ago and I am just now blogging about it. Yes, it has been a busy couple of weeks for our family. The snow started on a Tuesday and snowed most through the day and part of the night. While it did snow quite a bit, it had been too warm for it to stick on the ground. That still did not deter the kids from going out and playing in it.

Our family truly loves the colder weather and when it snows a few inches on the ground. We love to get out and play in it and walk in it. Nothing beautiful like a white winter wonderland. We are hoping (and praying) for a white Christmas again. We wouldn’t even mind being snowed in.

Yes, we like each other in our family and enjoy spending time together!

what a week!

what a week!

What a week we have had. This is really the first chance that I have gotten to sit down and write. The week started of with snow. And then we got more snow. Then guess what happened? More snow!! LOL When all was said and done, from Saturday through Wednesday, we got approximately 2 feet of snow! That is a lot of snow for our area at this time.

Since we had so much snow, my husband and oldest son did not have work or school. So that always throws our homeschooling routine off a little. Then I started feeling a little ill. I started having a fibromyalgia flare-up. I was very tired, wanting to sleep all the time and I ached all over. As much as I love the cold weather, it does a number on my body. I try to stay as warm as possible so the pain isn’t too bad.

Thankfully by the end of the week, hubby and son were back at work and school. We were back on track with our homeschooling and the house was caught back up on cleaning. I am feeling much better and am looking forward to getting back on track with homeschooling and writing on the blog.

So thank you for being patient with me this week!!

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
