A Month Of Blogging Rolled Into One

...Oh yeah, I have a blog, I almost forgot...actually it has been on my mind believe it or not, but for lack of time and energy it has taken the back burner for a while.  But alas, here I am again  to share a tid bit or two of what we've been up to in the last month...

We've come to accept the fact that winter is here and we're embracing it's return.  We've been getting out to play in the snow and go tobogganing...I almost forgot how much fun tobogganing is!  (When are the boys going to be old enough for a GT racer??)

Dressing for the cold has become routine now; the boys even willingly put on their winter coats as we head out the door. 

When we're playing indoors they're all about the trains and cars.  Casey always has to have a train or car in each hand and sometimes even falls asleep that way. 

We've been getting the creative juices flowing and hands (...arms, legs, tummies, floor etc.)  messy with homemade finger paint.  (I have since discovered that the best place for this activity is right in the tub!)

We Celebrated the end of an era.  Rob sold the truck last month to make room for a newer more reliable vehicle.  It was sad to see that one go.  We had the truck for as long as Rob and I have been together.  We called it "home" at times; it got us half way across the country; up to Alaska; down to Arizona and everywhere else in between.  We went on some great adventures in that truck...

On the lookout for Lupin (our dog).  Bishop, California



Park and climb. Moab, Utah



A little cove  in California where we camped and almost got swept away by high tide...the water came right up to the tires. (there was no escape route) I didn't sleep well that night.

And also celebrating successfully weaning the boys.  Hello champagne! (...I don't even like champagne)

And right now we are in full on deck the halls christmasy christmas mode...but I'll share more with you on that next time.
