Snow Days!!

So yesterday I took a bunch of pictures of the snow we've had here all week. (Seriously, NO school or church since last Sunday! Yes, we're all going a little stir-crazy.) Then we woke up this morning and I had to take new pictures - there's twice as much snow and it is STILL snowing!! We have about 4 inches of powder covered by a 3/4 inch layer of ice and now 4-5 inches of powder on top of that. Here's a couple "Before" & "After" pictures.

And here's some pictures of the kids - they loved "stepping" (as Talia called it) and breaking through the ice yesterday. Scott said it felt like he was Godzilla. I think the biggest piece of ice we picked up was 2 x 2.5 feet! The kids loved to karate punch/kick the ice & break it.

Guess Who Game

All four of our girls have worn the same costume at two. (I have to admit Talia was forced and we barely managed a few pictures - she was extremely particular about the many different costumes she did and did NOT want to wear!)

Now here's the fun - can you guess who is who?

It's been a while since I posted pictures, so here's a few catchup photos from the summer & fall...

Back to School!

Allison and Lindsey started school on Tuesday. Lindsey is our big Kinder student. She loves her teacher and feels very important going to school now. Her teacher likes to sing and play guitar during class and all the kids love her. Allison just started 4th grade. I can't believe how the time flies. Allison likes her teacher a lot too. We started Allison and Lindsey at a different school this year, the one closest to our house. So far, they are enjoying it. Chad is doing great at his school. The year is starting off good for him. We are all well here in Coos Bay. Hope you are all doing well too. We loved being in Tigard with Scott's family for Kaylee's baptism. What a wonderful time we had being together with Mom and Randy and Dad and Margaret and Leticia's Dad - and of course Scott, Leticia, Jenna, Kaylee, Nathan, Lisette and Talia!! We had a fantastic time together. Thanks Scott and Leticia! Here are some recent pictures. Love to all of you!
