Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Just some shots from the last few days. Art being worked on, snow being played in. All of the non "art" shots were taken by my four year old! I am so proud of him!
I am wishing you all the best for a happy and healthy new year! May all of your dreams come true! Now we are off to sled!

Snow

It snowed here yesterday, not alot but enough to make this...
My kids were so excited for the first snow that they had me outside at 8:30 a.m. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. What is the weather like where you are?

P.S.
I am playing around with the layout of the blog so if something seems wonky here and there you know why.

Fall Photos

Some more nature photos. Gatherings from our yard while playing with the kids. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
