Just when I thought I was sick of winter and couldn't take any more I saw this while walking the dog. I am amazed at how beautiful it is when the sun is shining (even if its only 3 degrees).

I need to be more grateful so starting today I'm looking for the good in everything no matter how terrible I think it might be.

I love the icicles hanging on the branches!

The Frost!

The snow just sticks to the side of the trees!

The pine needles are a comfy bed for the snow!

Sunday River Part 2

After a dip in the pool we dressed for the weather and while Glen, Taylor and Ed go skiing and snowboarding

Katie and I take the kids ice skating. They skated for 2 and 1/2 hours.

Sunday River Trip!

We started our trip with a dip in the outdoor pool.

The kids liked rolling in the snow and having a snowball fight in the pool.

Katie and I stayed bundled in our coats and gloves and watched for hypothermia!

January!!

I can't believe january is gone. We had a lot of fun this month. The girls had a twirling clinic where they learned all kinds of new tricks and then got to perform at the UMaine BBall game. Luke had a Pinewood Derby race and Taylor had a swim meet all on the same day. Unfortunately I can't be in three places at the same time so I did not get any pictures of Taylor swimming, but he did a great job.
