End of January Update









Well, yet again almost a month has gone by since the last update. That means there's a lot of pictures to go through because it's been a busy month. Seems like forever ago we went up to the White Mountains for a day to check out the ice castle at Loon and go for a hike at the Flume. Crystal and her son Cameron joined us on that little adventure and the latest thing we've had going on was Emily's 3rd birthday on the 28th. In between there we've had Jeffrey's wedding, that Jen missed out on because she had the flu, 3 kids with conjunctivitis, Brooke has started basketball, we all went skating for Sophia's birthday, Ashley is getting teeth, the girls have had play dates and I've been doing a little hiking here and there mostly in Pawtuckaway and a quick trip to Quechee Gorge in between the wedding and the reception, and I managed to track down a snow owl in my spare time. Other than that not much has been going on. Rather than keep writing I'll just link the pics and let them tell the rest of the story. As usual lately, Picasa screwed up some of the pictures a bit, particularly the starry night ones, but there isn't much I can do about it other than swith to Flickr, which I may do soon. But for now click below to get to them even if they don't all look like they should.

Merry Christmas & Happy 2014!!




Hope you all had a great Christmas and are off to a good start in 2014. We had a great one and the kids had a blast both here and on our visit up to Vermont, other than the 8 hour ride home in a snowstorm. I thought I had already put up a bunch of these with the last post but apparently not. The pictures go back about three weeks, which is actually good for me lately, and have a little of everything since the Christmas party. Christmas eve, Christmas day, Christmas in Vermont, New Years, sledding and more. There's also a few short videos below from Brooke's Holiday concert at school as well as one from Christmas morning. I've tried to cut the pictures down to a manageable number since there were quite a few to go through. I'll leave it at that and let the pictures tell the rest of the story. You can find them all by clicking right here. Happy New Year!!
