We got over to Perry this morning to see Great-Grandpa and Audrey and Rich and Becky!
The kids were thrilled to wake up to a beautiful snowy wonderland this morning, and they couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. Elizabeth was perhaps the biggest fan, but Janie LOVED her snow gear and sledding down the front yard. She came in and told me all about it: “Whee!” Pictures to […]
I have a million things on my list of things to do today, so what have the kids decided to do? Why, make a puppet show with one of the big amazon boxes we received last week. Paper bag puppets, hand-drawn scenery, the works. Sigh. More to clean up later, but at least they’re keeping […]
