Snowball Fight

This winter wasn't all that impressive as far as snow (or cold for that matter) goes.  A couple weekends ago we went for a little walk at a nearby state park and the snow just happened to be perfect "snowball snow".

It was absolutely the most delightful sight watching Felicity and Aidan have a good old fashioned snowball fight!

Deck Party

It's not every day when we get to hang out on the deck in the middle of winter for any extended amount of time.

This isn't on our deck, but is just too cool not to include. Aidan has more artistic talent than I could ever hope to have.  A lion out of snow?  Seriously?  Who does that?

The tongue!  Killer.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly warm.  

It's good for teenagers to have their ridiculousness posted all over the interwebs, no?  Character building I tell ya.

Growing up way too fast!

Oh Marci!  

She was trying to avoid having her picture taken.

Gotcha!

Just Blog Already

I will admit to getting a tad bit offended whenever any of my favorite bloggers would be silent for some time and then come to her page and reflect that now her children are older she finds it harder to blog.  I would feel a little betrayed even.  I found so much encouragement on those pages and was hoping to gain more and more wisdom from these ladies who are a few steps ahead of me. 

I now have "older" kids.  I now get it.  Not that I'm a big name blog-all-the-time blogger to begin with, but I do struggle somewhat with what to share and how exactly to have an honest portrayal of our family without including all the lovely "big kid" moments (teenagers!!!!).  What I don't want to have happen though is to stop altogether.  I love coming here and documenting our days, even if I am the only one who comes back and reads it.  

Without further ado....may I present to you some family life snapshots!
