Finally, It's Not Freezing!

After many days of bitterly cold weather, today's temperature stayed right around the freezing point allowing us to go out and enjoy some fun in the snow together. Sledding, shoveling, plowing. Thank heavens for fresh air in our lungs!

Princess in Training

A friend gave these to Hadassah this morning and she hasn't taken them off since they were handed to her. Never mind that they are too long and her chubby little feet don't reach anywhere near the top of the shoes. Feet rubbed raw from clopping around but she is in her glory. They remind me of my beloved jelly shoes I had as a little girl. Having a daughter is so much fun!

Loggin'

The boys in this family are in their glory. Both the little ones and big one too ;) They pulled some trees out of the woods and brought home some nice logs to cut up and then split later this spring. Thankful for long underwear and carharts ;) I'll get the hot chocolate ready soon cause they have been out all day long. The chainsaw is humming away and everyone should be ready for our Valentine's family seafood fest tonight! Loggin' trees by day, eating by candlelight at the dinner table tonight. This is how we say "I love you" around here...

Visiting the Newlyweds

We went on an adventure to Philly on Saturday to visit Moses and Roanna, the newlyweds. Their apartment is so cute. Four rooms stacked on top on each other with a spiral staircase through the middle. Hadassah only fell off and hit her head once so we thought we did pretty well ;) It was a frigid day so we decided to not walk around town too much. They found a wonderful indoor playhouse for the kids to get some energy out and we all had fun. We are thankful for the time we could spend together.

Pond Shenanigans

The whole gang got together today for some pond shenanigans and family time. Lots of laughter was shared...

Click, Clack, Moo

School was cancelled for Malakai today so we decided to head to the PA Farmshow. We had a great day watching some livestock shows, petting massive horses, seeing old friends, eating farmshow treats, and walking around seeing all the sights. No strollers and no diapers. What a great stage of life!

Skating On The Pond

There is nothing more fun in the winter than a little ice skating on the pond. Malakai put on some blades for the first time today and did wonderful! He might be a little sore from falling but that didn't stop him. Sled, hockey, fetch with Uncle Darrel's dog and we're good to go, until we all get soaked and tired. I hear there is more snow/ice on the way tonight, so we're thankful we could do some skating before all of that hits.
