One Thing - 2/5/14

I don't have any pictures to share today, but we have much to be thankful for!
- I am thankful that our family is back together. Although the kids and I loved our days with Grandma and Grandpa, we are so happy to have Daddy back from his conference. Life is best when our family is together!
- I am thankful for kids who travel wonderfully. One might guess what is happening in the car 3 hours into our trip with a 5, 3, and 1 year old. But, they probably wouldn't guess that they would be giggling like crazy at each other leaving 2 with hiccups that just resulted in more giggling!
- I am thankful to be home. Time away is always nice, but it is also always so good to return. Even though we got home way past bedtime, the kids were happy, too! Lydia chased Gloria around the main floor trying to catch her. Jonah and Silas ran right upstairs to play with their Legos.

One Thing - 2/4/14

This morning, we visited the Mountain Lake Public Library then went to Care and Share (the thrift store). The boys picked out 12 books at the library. Then, they bought 5 more at Care & Share. They have enjoyed their new books today!

One Thing - 2/3/14

The kids and I are enjoying a few days with Grandma and Grandpa while Daddy is at a conference. The boys have had a great time so far. They spent the day playing with my logos from when I was young. And, they took a break from Legos this afternoon to go snowmobiling/sledding with Grandpa. After Grandpa and Silas came in, Jonah spent awhile longer outside exploring the big snowdrifts around the house. Much to my dislike, Jonah ate quite a bit of snow...not pure, fluffy, newly fallen snow, but hard, wind-whipped at 50+ mph snow. According to him, the snow tasted very much like Wahoo snow but was a little sweeter.

Waiting to head outside 

Lydia reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to a dolly. Lydia spent a little while outside, too. However, she didn't like the snow getting on her boots or her mittens. She did like exploring the driveway and was upset to have to go inside. Too bad we haven't had much snow in Nebraska this winter for her to learn to enjoy it!

One Thing - 2/1/14

Jonah loves looking at maps. Yesterday, he put together his world map puzzle. This afternoon, he is spending some time on Daddy's iPad using the Barefoot World Atlas app. It is a pretty cool app that you can use to explore the world. He has been particularly interested in exploring the Panama Canal, Isreal, Mexico, and Italy today.
