We're back...

You can stop the "please post something new" campaign. So, to give you a little overview of our winter, we've literally had about 4 feet of snow this winter and the dirty ice mounds that still line the streets are proof. But just in case you think we exaggerate, I thought I'd post some pictures. (That and I think my kids are pretty darn cute!!)I asked Jackson and Taryn to tell me what they've thought was the MOST FUN thing we've done this winter. Here are their responses:

Jackson: COUSINS!!!! We had a great visit from The Krumperkids (with Paul & Jeanne) the day after Christmas. Of course it snowed about 8 inches while they were here. One afternoon the kids were playing in the snow and then disappeared. We found them across the street shoveling snow in our neighbor's driveway. Nice work Paige!! (I don't think Jackson did much shoveling...he was too busy throwing snow at Michael (the neigbor)). He got his revenge...by hanging Jackson upside down in the snow..Taryn: My dress-ups. Funny that that should be her winter highlight since she could dress up anytime, but she got a trunk of princess costumes and then Aunt Valerie added this one to the mix. I can barely get her to wear normal clothing anymore!!Otter: He barked when I asked him, obviously indicating that he just wanted to have pictures posted of how big he's getting.Janyse: I also thoroughly enjoyed the visit from the Grand Krumps (and Uncle Brad). We played games and it was a delight to watch Grrpa wrestle with Otter on the floor and then wrestle with Jackson. His comment, "You treat a 5-year-old just about the same way you do a large puppy." Amen.
