We started out the new year by spending the evening at my sister’s house for a late-night party, and in the morning, a first-day hike. We walked out to the frozen lake. Pretty short, but it was a very cold day. There was lots of snow so we did sledding and had a lot of fun.

Lately, it has not snowed nearly enough. We’ve been going to parks for fun instead.

Lately, I’m not as busy with school and stay home a lot more, but kids easily fill up the time. We’ve got school, basketball, scouts, keeping everyone happy and fed.
