Winter is here

I’ve been in a wintery kind of mood this week—and no wonder. We’ve had a major ice storm and more than a foot of snow already, and it’s only January. I’m not thrilled with this weather, but A.J. and Nate are, especially when it means that school is cancelled for the day.

Here’s a layout with photos from our last big storm in December. I lasted only about five minutes outside—long enough to take photos of everyone—but the boys loved sledding down the little hill in our backyard and stayed out until their fingers and toes were numb.
